The Runaway “Cryptoqueen” Is Now Behind Bars — and Her £5bn Bitcoin Stash Too

Image
 For years, people in China thought they were investing their savings into a futuristic health-tech and crypto venture. More than 100,000 pensioners and ordinary citizens poured their money in, believing it would grow. Instead, police say the woman behind it all, Qian Zhimin, siphoned off the cash and used it to buy cryptocurrency — a stash that has now ballooned into billions. After slipping out of China and arriving in the UK under a fake passport in 2017, she settled into a luxury Hampstead mansion just steps away from the heath, paying more than £17,000 a month in rent. To turn her Bitcoin into spendable cash, she reinvented herself as a wealthy heiress dealing in antiques and diamonds, even hiring a former takeaway worker as a personal assistant to quietly convert the crypto into property and money. But the privacy didn’t last. A year later, the Met Police stormed the mansion and uncovered one of the largest single crypto seizures ever recorded. On Tuesday, at Southwark Crown ...

BBC Admits Fault in Panorama Edit Involving Trump but Refuses to Pay Damages

Image
  The BBC has apologised to US President Donald Trump for a Panorama episode that stitched together separate moments from his 6 January 2021 speech, creating what the broadcaster now acknowledges was a misleading impression. Although the BBC admits the edit wrongly suggested Trump had made a direct call for violent action, it insists it will not pay the compensation his team is demanding. Trump’s lawyers have threatened a $1bn (£759m) lawsuit unless the BBC retracts the programme, issues a full apology, and provides financial redress. The controversy has already triggered the resignations of director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness. The apology was published just hours after the Daily Telegraph revealed a similar editing issue in a 2022 Newsnight programme. In its formal correction, the BBC said the Panorama edit unintentionally implied it was showing one continuous passage of Trump’s speech, when it had actually combined excerpts taken nearly an hour apart.
