Ye Hua
Ye Hua, also known as Cathay Hua, is a convicted money launderer who was sentenced to six years in prison after her appeal was partially successful. She was found guilty of laundering $18 million on behalf of drug dealers through her financial services business, Quian Duo Duo. Despite the serious nature of her offenses, the Court of Appeal reduced her sentence, noting her lack of actual knowledge about the source of the money and her minimal profits from the transactions.
