Ruja Ignatova built OneCoin into a global investment phenomenon by presenting it as a new digital-currency opportunity. Through a worldwide multi-level-marketing network, investors were encouraged to purchase OneCoin packages and bring the message into their own communities. According to U.S. authorities, victims around the world invested more than four billion dollars in the scheme. Prosecutors say the operation relied on false statements about OneCoin and its investment potential. In October 2017, shortly after she was charged in the United States, Ignatova traveled from Sofia, Bulgaria, to Athens, Greece. She has not been publicly confirmed seen since and remains wanted by the FBI. This episode examines OneCoin’s sales structure, the gap between its claims and the scrutiny it faced, the investigations that followed, and the difficult process of tracing and returning funds after an international fraud. This podcast uses artificial intelligence in its research, writing, production, and narration. Episodes are editorially reviewed before publication. #TheScamFiles #CryptocurrencyFraudAndFugitiveConArtist #RujaIgnatova #OneCoin #MissingCryptoqueen
