One of the most popular individuals in the crypto world (and not for good reasons), Ruja Ignatova, also known as the “Cryptoqueen,” is the founder of the fraudulent scheme OneCoin, which embezzled over $4 billion from victims.
Ignatova is considered the mastermind of the scam, but her whereabouts have remained unknown since she was last spotted in Greece in 2017. Many conspiracy theories indicate that she might be dead or hiding on a luxurious yacht in the Mediterranean Sea. The latest investigation suggested that she could have found shelter in Cape Town, South Africa.

Ignatova is wanted by multiple law enforcement agencies for her main role in the crypto scam called OneCoin. For instance, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has placed her on

Recall that it officially appealed a 2023 verdict of Judge Analisa Torres, which determined that the firm’s XRP sales to retail investors on crypto exchanges did not violate US securities laws.
