Ruja Ignatova, also known as the "Cryptoqueen," disappeared with billions of dollars after promoting a Ponzi scheme called OneCoin. Ignatova, who was involved in previous crypto scams, convinced millions to invest in OneCoin, raising an estimated $4 billion globally. The project eventually crashed, and in October 2017, Ignatova vanished without a trace. Theories about her whereabouts range from surgical alterations to mafia assassinations. Speculation suggests she may be hiding in South Africa, Dubai, or Russia. German documentary filmmaker Johan von Mirbach believes Ignatova is still alive and that false tracks have been laid about her whereabouts. The FBI has placed Ignatova on its most wanted fugitives list and is offering a reward of $5 million for information leading to her arrest. Legal proceedings surrounding her name continue, and a worldwide freeze order has been issued on assets linked to her. Recent reports suggest she may be hiding in Russia and has ties to individuals connected to the Russian government.
