OneCoin and its criminal enigma mastermind Ruja Ignatova, also known as ‘Cryptoqueen,’ may now be a man, complete with short hair and a beard. That’s according to a range of sketches illustrating the changes the infamous businesswoman might have endured to evade capture.
Ignatova is the only woman on the FBI’s list of 10 most wanted fugitives. She vanished into thin air about this time in 2017. The 40-something-old Bulgarian is wanted for her role in OneCoin, the cryptocurrency scam she founded.
The FBI alleges that Ignatova defrauded people who took part in OneCoin of $4 billion. The scheme had all the makings of a Ponzi. It used network marketing and commissions to gain popularity. Everyone who introduced a new buyer to the platform received a commission.
