The United States government has increased the reward offered for information on OneCoin co-founder Ruja Ignatova’s whereabouts to $5 million.
According to an official release from the U.S. Department of State spokesperson in conjunction with the U.S. Embassy in Bulgaria, anyone who brings information leading to the arrest or conviction of Ignatova, popularly known as Cryptoqueen, would be rewarded with $5 million.
This new reward represents a significant increase from the previous offer of $250,000 announced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and raises speculations about the authenticity of rumors of Cryptoqueen being murdered in 2018.
I've heard about this woman several times over the years, but I haven't followed the story of what really happens. What is evident from the latest news is that someone really wants her to be found, but if she really stole billions, then she can very easily beat this and any similar offer x10 at any time.
When you have so much money, you can live anywhere in the world, have multiple identities and change your appearance in the best plastic surgery clinics. I wouldn't even be surprised if she chose Russia or a similar country where the US has no influence and where she doesn't even have to hide her identity.
This chimed with the information we already had - US government lawyers had said in 2019 that Ms Ignatova’s head of security was a major organised crime figure in Bulgaria but hadn’t named him.
“We do have evidence that a very significant, if not the most prolific, drug trafficker of all time in Bulgaria, was closely linked to OneCoin - served as [Ruja Ignatova’s] personal security guard,” an assistant attorney said.
Yeah, this is very fascinating stories, there are some who says that she is dead, but there are recent sightings of here in Bulgaria. And that's where the plot thickens as she is connected to the powerful mafia boss in that country and it was believed that he is the one protecting Ruja at all cost with $100,000 per month salary. So if ever there will be one man, it's should be Taki or Hristoforos Nikos Amanatidis. Gonna be difficult for the US to get to her, they have to overcome the Mafia that even their government are not willing to do and cooperate with the US government here,QuoteThis chimed with the information we already had - US government lawyers had said in 2019 that Ms Ignatova’s head of security was a major organised crime figure in Bulgaria but hadn’t named him.

She took $4Billion from her victims and the government is only giving $5M for her reward.
--snip--But somehow he doesn't want 5 million dollars? Wow OK, since there is no such thing as loyalty in the world of crime and mafia, I'm pretty sure this guy earned way more than that.

Now, we have the best opportunity to be mega-millionaires by hunting the lady...if only it is just a walk in the park thing. In my opinion, I am already assuming that she can be dead or if not had already assumed another identity and changed her physical attributes by surgery. Anyway, good luck to anyone interested in finding the woman.

In addition, $5M is only about 0.125% of what she stole.--snip--But somehow he doesn't want 5 million dollars? Wow OK, since there is no such thing as loyalty in the world of crime and mafia, I'm pretty sure this guy earned way more than that.

Assuming what BBC write is accurate, it bring question whether US government willing to pay $5 million to known criminal.
I have seen her face in some ads being shown, but I’m not sure what the ad is for because I usually skip it. If anyone can remind me, thank you.Same ;D I often see her face in youtube videos when I was still new and learning about bitcoin. Those clever video creators would insert their one coin promotion in the middle of a tutorial.
She took $4Billion from her victims and the government is only giving $5M for her reward. What will thry do with the $4B, seize them and sell on exchanges like Germen government did? 🤣The $5M is probably more than enough for a low-level snitch.
--snip--You will never know what the US government can do and willing to do just to apprehend a so called criminal.

Remember Bin Laden?
Remember Noriega?
So they can turn 360 anytime they want, to justify their means.

I do not think that anyone is "impossible to find", if a person is alive, I am sure that they can find that person. Hell, even if she is not, they can just keep on following the leads and figure out what happened to her, with proof of DNA. Why? Because its 5+ million dollars we are talking about, and there are a lot of people who would love to get that and retire a wealthy person.
They also have a cash reward for this manThey could print the old style text Wanted Dead or Alive :P
