A Chinese woman accused of laundering bitcoins linked to an alleged £5 billion ($6.7 billion) fraud pleaded guilty in a London court on Monday.
Qian Zhimin, 47, also known as Zhang Yadi, pleaded guilty to one count of possessing criminal property and one count of transferring criminal property at Southwark Crown Court on what was supposed to be the first day of her trial.
Judge Sally-Ann Hales remanded Qian in custody pending sentencing, which will take place later.
British police seized wallets containing more than 61,000 bitcoins, currently worth £5.1 billion, during the investigation.
