Cryptocurrency scams

Lawyer Dr. Jonathan Levy told Bulgaria Today that he possesses evidence proving that Ruja Ignatova, the creator of the OneCoin cryptocurrency scheme, is still alive. According to Dr. Levy, Ignatova received a payment of 50 million dollars in August 2024, contradicting reports that she had been killed in Greece.

The London High Court has imposed a global freeze on the assets of Ruja Ignatova, the so-called Bulgarian "Crypto Queen," following a request from over 400 victims of her OneCoin scheme. Ignatova, who vanished in 2017, remains a top international fugitive wanted by the FBI. The class action lawsuit aims to recover at least some of the 4.5 billion dollars lost in the scam.

A Bulgarian woman, Irina Dilkinska, has been handed a four-year prison sentence for her involvement in a large-scale fraud scheme orchestrated by the cryptocurrency company OneCoin. Damien Williams, a prosecutor in the New York court, announced the verdict.

A German court in Münster has delivered a verdict against key accomplices involved in the notorious OneCoin cryptocurrency scam. The case implicated spouses Frank R. and Manon H., along with a Munich-based lawyer, for defrauding millions of customers across Europe, resulting in damages nearing a staggering 3 billion euros.

The Bulgarian Ruja Ignatova is the latest addition to the top 10 of the FBI's most wanted persons. The "Crypto Queen" - as she is also called by the media, is also the only lady on the list.

The FBI announced a reward of 100 thousand dollars for information that could lead to the arrest of Ruja Ignatova.
