Is Dr. Ruja Ignatova the cryptocurrency world’s 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 “The Missing Cryptoqueen”? Because Jamie
Bartlett, the journalist behind the project, just released a new
episode. Episode 10 of The Missing Cryptoqueen is now out.
The hunt it back on: Israel, Dubai, Luxembourg, The Eurovision Song
Contest & Krispy Kremes. Sorry, it’s taken me &
@GeorgiaJCatt a while. And welcome to our new teammate

episode, it presents Dr. Ruja Ignatova and the OneCoin world. We
feel the size of the scam, we hear from the people that fell for it
and the voices of the true believers. It begins with Bitcoin and
Satoshi Nakamoto’s story, goes to a OneCoin seminar in Mbarara, a
town in Western Uganda, and ends with Dr. Ruja’s disappearance in
October 2017. In “The Missing Cryptoqueen’s” first episode we can
also see what a charismatic leader could do with bitcoin’s story
and narrative. If Dr. Ruja Ignatova didn’t plagiarize it, she at
least was heavily inspired by Satoshi Nakamoto’s 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’s pizza day story
and how that could happen to OneCoin holders. However, Dr. Ruja’s
OneCoin was better than bitcoin. It was here to replace it, in
fact. Whenever you hear that, run. That should’ve been the
witnesses’ 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’s emotion in all
of their voices. And an open wound. Near the end, we hear about
2017 and Dr. Ruja’s disappearance from people that were there at
the scene. What happened? So far, there are nine more episodes of
BBC’s “The Missing Cryptoqueen.” Let’s hope we get an answer to
that question. BTC price chart for 09/28/2022 on Bitstamp | Source:
BTC/USD on TradingView.com Quotes From Ep. 01 – “Dr. Ruja” “Then,
in late 2017, Dr. Ruja disappeared. One of Europe’s richest women,
a woman who seemed destined to change the world had vanished.” “It
was impossible not to be impressed by Dr. Ruja. She appeared on the
front cover of prestigious business magazines, she has degrees from
Oxford and Konstanz University and is fluent in several languages.”
“Thousands of people were filling stadiums to hear Dr. Ruja talk,
to buy OneCoin and join this financial revolution.” “But in October
2017, there was a big OneCoin event in Lisbon, Portugal and Dr.
Ruja was scheduled to speak.” Extra Material And Episode Credits
This guide’s extra material comes courtesy of the podcast series’s
IMDB page. In the description, IMDB gives us a good overview of
what to expect from “The Missing Cryptoqueen.” “Dr Ruja Ignatova
called herself the Cryptoqueen. She told people she had invented a
cryptocurrency to rival Bitcoin, and persuaded millions to join her
financial revolution, investing billions. Then she disappeared.
Why? Jamie Bartlett spent months investigating how she did it for
the Missing Cryptoqueen podcast, and trying to figure out where
she’s hiding.” Related Reading: Apple Co-Founder Loses Lawsuit
