A $5m (£4m) reward is being offered in the hunt for the fugitive 'Cryptoqueen' Ruja Ignatova.
A $5m reward is being offered in the hunt for the fugitive 'Cryptoqueen' Ruja Ignatova. Bulgarian-born Ignatova, who has German citizenship, has been on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list since 2022 for fraud and money laundering. She is accused of defrauding investors out of $4bn by selling a fake cryptocurrency called OneCoin, founded in Sofia in 2014.
Meanwhile, Bulgaria's chief prosecutor said on Wednesday that the country will press charges against Ignatova, who disappeared in late 2017. 'She will also be charged in absentia in our country, which will allow the start of a procedure for the confiscation of her illegally acquired property,' he said. Ignatova's whereabouts are currently unknown and there is speculation she may have been murdered by figures linked to Bulgaria's criminal underworld.
