Qian Zhimin / Lantian Gerui Claims:
Market Valuation Amid a $6B Confiscation Risk
In November 2025, Zhimin Qian was sentenced in the UK to 11 years and 8 months in prison for laundering funds from the Lantian Gerui Ponzi scheme. Today, over 61,000 seized Bitcoins (worth $6–7 billion) face the risk of permanent confiscation by the UK state.

Current status of Qian Zhimin / Lantian Gerui claims in 2026
The Lantian Gerui Ponzi scheme operated from 2014 to 2017, defrauding over 128,000 investors in China. In 2021, UK police confiscated over 61,000 BTC linked to the scheme—a record seizure currently valued at over $6 billion. In 2025, the mastermind Zhimin Qian was convicted of money laundering.
In 2026: Litigation receivers were appointed over Lantian Gerui. The current legal landscape is a harsh standoff: Victim Compensation vs. State Confiscation. The UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) intends to keep the assets as proceeds of crime. This profound uncertainty directly affects the liquidity and market value of any investor claims.

Frequently Asked Questions Qian Zhimin / Lantian Gerui Claim 2026
Where should I start if I have been harmed by Lantian Gerui’s actions?
The main recommendation is to gather and securely store all relevant documentation. You will need bank statements (fiat transfers), original asset management agreements, and screenshots. For any future monetization or market valuation of your claim, Proof of Funds and your ability to document the path of your investment play a key role.
Can Reclaim Capital represent my interests in a UK court?
No. Reclaim Capital does not provide legal services, nor do we submit or amend legal claims on your behalf. Our specialization is strictly the independent market valuation and purchase of distressed debt. For representation in the UK High Court, you must consult certified UK solicitors.
Where can I find official information and payment schedules?
Currently, there are no official payment schedules. The assets are under the control of UK litigation receivers (appointed Feb 2026). Official updates are extremely limited to public court hearings. Relying on verified legal consortiums is the best way to stay informed.
How to Protect Yourself from Scammers Amid News of Payouts?
Beware of any firm offering an “immediate cash buyout” for your Lantian Gerui claim, or demanding upfront fees to “fast-track” your payouts. Without a court ruling, no legitimate fund will purchase this debt. Any promises of guaranteed payouts before an official creditor registry is established are scams.
Why don’t funds (including Reclaim Capital) purchase such debts?
A direct buyout is only possible when a creditor has an indisputable legal right to the asset. Currently, victims are classified as “unsecured creditors,” while the UK state claims the Bitcoins as “proceeds of crime.” Until the High Court establishes a clear return procedure for victims, your claims have zero market liquidity. That is why we currently offer valuations, not buyouts.
