Caixin: Beijing's Largest Shadow Margin Trading Operator, Song Shijie, Involved in Money Laundering and Crypto Scam, Settles with the US and UK for ¥200 Million, Assets Seized Worth ¥161 Million

BlockBeats News, September 5th, according to Caixin, China's largest off-exchange margin trading boss in Beijing, Song Shijie, who owed 22 million yuan in treasury fines, surrendered nearly 200 million yuan in assets forfeiture and settlement money to the UK and the US. The UK's National Crime Agency seized his mansion, apartments, and bank accounts in London, worth about 161 million yuan, and determined that the funds came from illegal securities trading in China and money laundering in the UK.

The report stated that Song Shijie was also involved in a cryptocurrency "rug pull," with his 3 Binance accounts frozen, including about $10 million in crypto assets. According to a document from a Florida court in Orlando at the end of March, he relinquished his claim to avoid criminal charges.
