The U.S. State Department has announced a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Ruja Ignatova, the Bulgarian-German founder of OneCoin and known as the 'Cryptoqueen.' Ignatova disappeared in Athens in 2017 following the collapse of OneCoin, a Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors of approximately $4 billion. The U.S. is collaborating with European partners to bring her to justice in this massive fraud case.
