On July 9, 2026, former Epoch Times CFO Weidong "Bill" Guan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in transactions involving criminal proceeds, in connection with a transnational scheme that, according to the Department of Justice, laundered at least approximately $67 million in illegally obtained funds to benefit, among others, the organization. The DOJ noted the conduct did not relate to the publication's newsgathering activities. The federal indictment had alleged that members of an Epoch Times team managed by Guan used cryptocurrency to purchase crime proceeds and moved a portion of those proceeds through cryptocurrency accounts.
