According to on-chain detective Specter, it has discovered a cluster of wallets holding 28,600 BTC, worth approximately $1.8 billion, suspected to be related to wallets previously attributed to the money laundering case of Zhimin Qian.A few weeks ago, a Bitcoin wallet that had been dormant since 2017 transferred 1,020 BTC, worth about $60 million, and began distributing funds to multiple addresses in a manner consistent with money laundering activities. After tracking these transactions, Specter found that the related wallet cluster was connected to publicly associated addresses investigated in the UK concerning Zhimin Qian. From 2014 to 2017, Zhimin Qian organized large-scale investment fraud in China, affecting over 128,000 victims. UK authorities later traced a significant amount of criminal proceeds flowing into Bitcoin, with the Met Police ultimately seizing 60,000 BTC, marking the largest cryptocurrency seizure in UK history at that time.In July 2021, UK authorities transferred the seized BTC, creating identifiable on-chain associations. Following the recent transfer of 1,020 BTC, Specter identified additional wallets, which currently hold a total of 28,600 BTC, worth approximately $1.8 billion. These wallets have largely been dormant since June 2021. Based on on-chain evidence, it remains unclear whether these wallets are still controlled by the same actor, other custodians, or have been identified by law enforcement.

According to exclusive reports from Huxiu, Alibaba has internally regarded "AI Office" as one of its strategic directions and has completed the integration of organization and products: the original Wukong Business Unit has been upgraded to "Qwen Office Business Unit," led by Chen Yusen, combining the three products QoderWork, Wukong, and MuleRun into Qwen Office (QwenWork), with the three products and teams no longer existing separately. Qwen Office began public testing on August 3, with the web version and PC client now available, and the DingTalk entry will be launched soon. On the same day, Alibaba released the Qwen3.8 model, enhancing Coding and Cowork capabilities.Alibaba positions Qwen Office as a "enterprise-level AI productivity platform aimed at corporate organizations," rather than a personal office tool, and will not focus on user numbers and monthly active users as core assessment targets in the short term, instead concentrating on product experience and enterprise scenario implementation. The Qwen Office Business Unit is also responsible for DingTalk, intending to leverage the million-level enterprise customer resources accumulated by DingTalk. According to data analysis from Analysys, in June, the desktop access volume of AI office intelligent agents was led by Tencent WorkBuddy with approximately 20.97 million visits, followed by Byte's TRAE IDE with about 12.79 million, and Alibaba's QoderWork with around 7.88 million (Wukong had an additional 1.31 million visits). This integration is viewed internally as a key step to catch up with Tencent and Byte. Following the news, Alibaba's Hong Kong stock rose by over 7% on August 3.

Which funds have a provable connection to the bitcoins seized in the UK; 4. The losses, repayments, and existing compensation situations of each applicant; 5.
