OneCoin Chief Legal Officer Sentenced to Four Years in Prison for $4 Billion Ponzi Scheme:

The former head of legal and compliance for the multi-billion-dollar OneCoin fraud scheme has been sentenced to four years in prison after admitting she helped launder millions of dollars.

According to a statement issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office on April 3, U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos sentenced Irina Dilkinska, 42, on Wednesday to four years in prison.

In addition to her four-year prison sentence, Dilkinska was sentenced to one month of supervised release and ordered to forfeit $111 million in restitution.

Judge Ramos reportedly denied Dylkinska's request to avoid prison and return home to care for young children in Bulgaria, according to an April 3 report from Bloomberg.

It is worth noting that Dilkensa is the latest OneCoin executive to be imprisoned for her role in the fraud scheme.

On September 12 last year, the scheme's co-founder, Carl Sebastian Greenwood, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for fraud and money laundering, and was ordered to pay $300 million in compensation.
