7 місяців томуDr Ruja Ignatova (aka the ‘Crypto Queen’) and her company OneCoin set out to revolutionise the world of cryptocurrencies. But then she vanished in 2017, after pocketing billions of dollars from victims across the world.
So where did she go? Could she be in Dubai? Did she get a facelift and move to Brazil? Or could she be hiding in plain sight?
Technology writer and journalist Jamie Barlett investigates this crazy story of what could be the world’s wildest crypto scam.

@AaronZak-js 2 місяці тому
It comes down to technique; a downtrend gives you room to focus on the market and grow significantly in the short or long term. While it is easier to make money when the market is rising, a downtrend can still yield high returns if you have the necessary knowledge and skills. For this reason, I have been scaling up during this difficult period by working with an investment advisor; this has been the only way I have raised up to $150K in the last six months.

She was killed by the Greek mafia boss on his yacht, after she suddenly took a plane during the night to Greece (the last trace the Interpol had on her). This info I read in the central BG newspaper a report from the BG police service that follows the crime wrings in BG, Serbia & Greece (the last are connected). It could also be an attempt to get any further investigations off her back. Keep in mind, she has a PHD in International Law & Economics, so she is a specialist in International Diplomatic passports, working closely with Intelligent service on crossing & erasing her traces. I wouldn't get worry about her getting punished, these things are handled in a different way, these criminals develop such a self-destructive mindset, they all eventually have terrible death soon or later.

Inflation has a greater impact on people's cost of living than a crashing stock or housing market, resulting in an immediate and tangible effect. This explains the current high level of negative market sentiment, and our need for assistance in surviving this challenging economy. The financial markets have underperformed due to fears of inflation, causing stock and bond prices to plummet. Despite sounding basic, consulting a financial advisor has enabled me to outperform the market and achieve a profit of $850,000 since June 2022, making it the ideal approach to enter the financial markets today.

sailing into Europe on a mega yacht, especially as a guest, assuming the passport of some other legitimate person from dubai, balkin region or the like is enough to get past most people. border guards aren't looking to piss off rich yacht owners in smaller ports, once in, she can move throughout Europe with little problem.

@@ChainringTours Oh sure, best bet is trying to find a DNA sample from trash or something if they spot someone with a semblence. However something tells me she's attending events like Monaco boat show or Top Marques due to her habbit of flaunting her ill gotten gains and no one asks questions there much like certain areas of Portugal since if she's in Europe she might have run into some form of trouble with her friends over in Russia mentioned in the podcast. Do wonder where, when and perhaps more importanly how this is going to end though.

Recent controversies surrounding Forbes' cover choices highlight a crucial issue. As a trusted publication, Forbes must realize that featuring someone on their cover implies endorsement. This not only influences public opinion but also financial decisions. When these figures turn out to be frauds, it's not just Forbes' reputation at stake, but also the trust and financial well-being of their readers. It's high time for Forbes to enhance their vetting process and take ethical responsibility for their content. This isn't just about maintaining journalistic integrity; it's about protecting the public from misleading information.

It is unknown what happened to the money, she took it or laundered it for them, there was more money coming from Dubai!
