Also known as ‘Cryptoqueen,’ Ignatova was last seen boarding a plane to Greece several years ago.Greece has become the scene of the latest episode in the manhunt for Ruja Ignatova, one of the co-founders of the notorious crypto pyramid Onecoin. The country is believed to be the last destination she visited before her disappearance almost five years ago.
Quoting sources from the Hellenic Police , the newspaper Kathimerini reported this week that Greek authorities received intelligence, both locally obtained and from abroad, indicating that Ignatova was in Greece and holding meetings with specific persons. Kathimerini’s police sources noted that a dozen countries are now working closely to pinpoint her whereabouts, actively exchanging materials related to the case. The investigation continues with full force and in fact law enforcement authorities are stepping up efforts to tighten the noose around the Cryptoqueen.The FBI is offering $100,000 as a reward for any information leading to the arrest of the only woman among the top ten fugitives in its ranking.
Ruja graduated from the University of Oxford in 2005 and later earned a PhD in private international law from the University of Constance. While she reportedly worked for the management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, her shadowy career began before 2012, when she was convicted for fraud related to the acquisition of a company which went bankrupt and received a 14-month suspended sentence.
