Is Dr. Ruja Ignatova the cryptocurrency world\u2019s biggest scammer? The competition is fierce, there are so many faces and stories fighting for that spot, but none of them is on the FBI Most Wanted List. Dr. Ruja is. Great, but, why is NewsBTC revisiting the 2019 true crime podcast \u201cThe Missing Cryptoqueen\u201d? Because Jamie Bartlett, the journalist behind the project, just released a new episode.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Episode 10 of The Missing Cryptoqueen is now out.<\/p>\n
The hunt it back on: Israel, Dubai, Luxembourg, The Eurovision Song Contest & Krispy Kremes.<\/p>\n

Did they FIND Dr. Ruja Ignatova? The only thing we know for sure is that there\u2019ll be a few new episodes<\/a>, and that\u2019s all we needed to hear.

We feel the size of the scam, we hear the people that fell for it and the true believers.

If Dr. Ruja Ignatova didn\u2019t plagiarize, she at least was heavily inspired by Satoshi Nakamoto\u2019s mystique and discourse. Using quotes from her speeches, we hear Dr. Ruja speaking about a rotten financial system and corrupt banking institutions. About the possibility of banking the unbanked and what that would do for the world. About bitcoin\u2019s pizza day story and how that could happen to them.<\/p>\n However, Dr. Ruja\u2019s OneCoin was better than bitcoin. It was here to replace it, in fact.<\/p>\n Whenever you hear that, run. That should\u2019ve been the witnesses\u2019 first warning. In episode one, we hear about the OneLife network. The social part of the scam. We hear from a UK victim who assisted to the webinars, from a OneLife employee and insider, and we listen to an African song about OneCoin. There\u2019s emotion in all of their voices. And an open wound.<\/p>\n Near the end, we hear about 2017 and Dr. Ruja\u2019s disappearance from people that were there at the scene. What happened?
