The US government increased the reward for information on the whereabouts of OneCoin founder Ruja Ignatova to $5 million! 😮 Ignatova, aka Cryptoqueen, is wanted for orchestrating the largest transnational fraud scheme in history. The new reward drastically increased the previous offer of $250,000 by the FBI and fueled speculation about Cryptoqueen's rumored 2018 murder.

Cryptoqueen, a Bulgarian-born German citizen, fled to Greece in late 2017 to avoid arrest and has since been a fugitive. US and German authorities have charged the OneCoin creator with fraud and money laundering.

There are rumors that Cryptoqueen may have changed her physical appearance through plastic surgery. The FBI thought he could use his German passport to visit countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Russia and Eastern Europe.

Last year, rumors emerged that Cryptoqueen had been murdered by Bulgarian drug kingpin Hristoforos Amanatidis, aka Taki, who was also responsible for her security. However, the BBC team behind The Missing Cryptoqueen podcast have been receiving tips about Cryptoqueen's whereabouts since 2018, and after a police operation to arrest her in Greece failed in 2022, it could be that rumors about her death were an attempt to deceive national authorities.
