Jian Wen, 42, was said to have been the 'front person' recruited to help fugitive Yadi Zhang launder the profits of a £5bn fraud.

Within weeks of Yadi Zhang's arrival in London in September 2017, Jian Wen had left her job and room in a Chinese takeaway and moved into a £5m six-bedroom house near Hampstead Heath. The women, who claimed to run an international jewellery business trading in diamonds and antiques in countries including Japan, Thailand and China, travelled the world and spent tens of thousands of pounds on designer clothes and shoes in Harrods.

Wen's lifestyle change The relationship broke down following the birth of their son and she lived a modest lifestyle in Leeds, where she took a law diploma and completed a BA in economics before moving to London in the summer of 2017. She had already opened cryptocurrency accounts, making meticulous notes in her Wallace and Gromit notebook, but said she had 'no idea' she would soon be dealing with Bitcoin on such a 'massive scale'.
