Summary

Ruja Ignatova, the self-proclaimed "Crypto Queen," built an empire on deception, masterminding one of the largest cryptocurrency scams in history with her company, OneCoin. By the time authorities closed in, she had defrauded over three million people of an estimated $4 billion. Then, in 2017, she vanished without a trace. Join us as we explore Ignatova’s rise to infamy, the intricate web of lies behind OneCoin, and the lingering mystery of her disappearance. Where is Ruja Ignatova now, and will she ever face justice?
