U.S. attorney Damian Williams said:
Irina Dakinska, the Head of Legal and Compliance for OneCoin’s cryptocurrency pyramid scheme, allegedly did the exact opposite of what she was supposed to do. She allegedly allowed OneCoin and shell companies to launder millions of illegal proceeds worth millions of dollars. Dilkinska was a part of a vast scheme that saw millions of victims and suffered billions in losses. She will now be tried for her crimes.
OneCoin is a notorious scam. It was founded in 2014 in Sofia, Bulgaria by “cryptoqueen” Ruja Ignatova and Karl Sebastian Greenwood. The global multi-level-marketing (MLM) network managed to defraud $4 billion from investors around the world.
Greenwood has pleaded guilty to multiple charges and is now facing a sentence in prison. Ignatova is currently on the run from multiple charges. She flew to Greece in October 2017 after a federal warrant was issued for her arrest.
Ignatova is on Europe and FBI’s most wanted lists since 2022 with a monetary reward offered for information leading to her arrest.
