OneCoin first establishment?

  • OneCoin, established in 2014 by Greenwood and Ruja Ignatova, has been under legal scrutiny for running what authorities characterize as a cryptocurrency pyramid scheme. Ignatova, also known as the Crypto Queen, is facing similar charges but has been missing since 2017 after a flight to Greece. 

    She was added to the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List in June 2022. Prosecutors are urging the public to provide information about Ignatova's location, with the FBI offering a reward of up to $250,000 for details leading to her arrest.

Dilkinska's sentencing is scheduled for February 14, 2024, as authorities persist in holding all implicated individuals accountable for their roles in the alleged scheme.
