Three associates of “Cryptoqueen” Ruja Ignatova faced a German court on Tuesday on a raft of fraud, money laundering, and banking crime charges for their alleged dealings with OneCoin funds.
Three associates of fugitive OneCoin founder Ruja Ignatova, known colloquially as the “Cryptoqueen,” have faced a German court over allegations of fraud, money laundering and banking crimes.
Appearing in court on Oct. 18, a Munich-based lawyer connected to Ignatova is alleged to have transferred $19.7 million via the Cayman Islands on her behalf to purchase two London apartments. Additionally, a husband and wife are facing charges over allegedly handling $315.4 million worth of payments from OneCoin customers, as per a Bloomberg report.
According to the FBI, the project defrauded more than 3 million investors out of roughly $4 billion, with prosecutors noting in the German court that: “In reality, the ever-growing value was a fake and the mining process was only simulated by the software.” Ignatova’s whereabouts have been unknown since 2017, her last known location was reported to be in Athens, Greece.
