LIVEThe Disappearance of the Cryptoqueen: Ruja Ignatova and the OneCoin Scam
Ruja Ignatova, also known as the "Cryptoqueen," is a fugitive notorious for orchestrating one of the biggest scams in cryptocurrency history – OneCoin. Here's a glimpse into her story:
OneCoin: A House of Cards: Founded in 2014, OneCoin was marketed as a revolutionary cryptocurrency that would rival Bitcoin. However, it lacked the core features of a real cryptocurrency, like a blockchain.
False Promises, Real Money: Ignatova used lavish events and charismatic presentations to lure investors, promising high returns. Authorities believe she defrauded billions of dollars from unsuspecting victims worldwide.
Vanishing Act: In 2017, Ignatova vanished after disappearing from a trip to Greece. Her whereabouts remain unknown, and the FBI has placed her on their Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list with a reward of up to $250,000 for information leading to her arrest.
The Legacy of OneCoin:
The OneCoin scam serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with unregulated cryptocurrency markets. It highlights the importance of careful research and due diligence before investing in any new digital asset.
