The Missing Crypto Queen is back, and the case of Dr Ruja’s disappearance continues to unravel
is a nine-part BBC Sounds series that follows the story of Dr Ruja Ignatova: the Cryptoqueen behindIt looks at how Ignatova raised nearly £4 billion from strangers through an “old fashioned pyramid scheme on a new school platform” scam. And it questions how the hell she managed to disappear off the face of the earth in 2017.
Thanks to her good education, respect from business peers in the industry and adoration from followers, Ignatova managed to persuade worldwide investors to part with literally billions of pounds.What happened to Dr Ruja Ignatova and OneCoin? In reponse to the podcast, OneCoin has said: “OneCoin verifiably fulfils all criteria of the definition of a crypto-currency”. It added that the podcast “will not present any truthful information and cannot be considered objective, nor unbiased”.The new episode begins with the trial of Mark Scott for laundering $400 million of Dr Ruja’s money through shell companies and bank accounts. The star witness in court, as part of a plea deal, is Ruja’s younger brother, Konstantin Ignatov.
As part of the court case, we hear recordings of Dr Ruja during a bugged phone call with her then secret lover, the American financier Gilbert Armenta. This is the first time Ruja has been heard outside of her crypto currency ‘visionary’ speeches, and she appears angry and frustrated as she grows suspicious of Armenta who, unbeknown to both her, is recording the telephone conversation secretly for the FBI.
