It was the year 2014, and at that time the cryptocurrency market had just gained popularity. People who were traditional stock market investors were now aware of crypto. The reason was the rise in the prices of Bitcoin. Meanwhile, when many investors were looking for a cryptocurrency that could achieve as much success as Bitcoin, Ruja Ignatova launched her cryptocurrency OneCoin. When Ph.D. holder Ruja Ignatova took advantage of the growing popularity of the crypto market, she convinced people to invest in fake crypto. Ruja Ignatova, popularly known as Crypto Queen, was as beautiful as she used to talk in a charming manner. The web of talks was such that some investors invested in OneCoin only after being influenced by his voice.
Ruja Ignatova also knew this very well, to take advantage of which she conducted many seminars. She used to show people dreams of becoming rich and ask them to buy OneCoin and purchase educational material to understand it. Gradually people started getting attracted to the words of this Crypto Queen and within 2 years, more than 2 lakh people invested crores of rupees in this fake crypto. People were impressed by Ruja Ignatova's statement that in the future, the value of OneCoin will exceed that of Bitcoin. To promote his fake crypto coin, Ruja conducted many seminars and gave ads in many big magazines. Considering this to be true, lakhs of people started joining OneCoin and Crypto Queen Ruja carried out a crypto scam of Rs 30,000 crore.
By misleading people with her words, Ruja Ignatova got millions of people to invest in her fake crypto coin. When people became suspicious and wanted to demand answers from Ruja, Ruja Ignatova ran away. According to one source, Ruja Ignatova had absconded in 2017 itself. Not only this, he is also included in the list of the 10 most wanted by American investigative agency FBI. However, OneCoin co-founder Karl Greenwood has been in police custody since 2018. Recently, Karl was sentenced to 20 years in prison by the District Court of the Southern District of New York and was also ordered to pay about $300 million. At present the police are searching for Ruja. It is expected that Ruja Ignatova will be arrested as soon as possible.
