China News Weekly: Qian Zhimin likely still possesses undiscovered or unconfiscated Bitcoins; he claims to have lost the password to a wallet containing 20,000 BTC.

On November 28th, according to a report by *China News Weekly*, a special audit revealed that from August 2014 to July 2017, Lantian Gree absorbed over 40.2 billion yuan in funds, all controlled and managed by Qian Zhimin. From April 2014 to August 2017, Lantian Gree returned over 34.1 billion yuan to 128,409 people, and another 1.14 billion yuan was used to purchase Bitcoin.

Documents obtained by the media from a British court also show that Qian Zhimin purchased a total of 194,951 Bitcoins, higher than the 61,000 Bitcoins seized by the police. However, the court did not disclose the situation of the remaining 120,000+ Bitcoins. This means that Qian Zhimin's assets likely still contain Bitcoins that have not yet been discovered or confiscated. In an interview with British media, London Metropolitan Police detective Joe Lane revealed that Qian Zhimin claimed that the password to a wallet containing 20,000 Bitcoins had been lost. Based on the latest market price, these "lost" Bitcoins alone are worth approximately 12.5 billion yuan.
