Based on the article linked below, it seems that the money come from criminal activity:
> Wen tried to buy a string of expensive houses in London, but struggled to pass money-laundering checks and her claims she had earned millions legitimately mining Bitcoin were not believed.
> CPS chief crown prosecutor [..] said [...] cryptocurrencies "are increasingly being used by organised criminals to disguise and transfer assets [...]".
which is indeed money laundering, not tax evasion.
- sparsely 2y agoSure, but what exactly was the criminal activity? Is the claim that she (or her close associates) engaged in it herself, or that she was acting purely as a launderer for others?
- pizza234 2y agoMore info here in links provided in sibling posts. From this one https://archive.ph/mTPuL https://archive.ph/mTPuL,: > Wen was ultimately arrested and convicted of one count of money laundering after two trials and acquittals on 10 other counts. She was not accused of involvement in the original alleged China fraud.
