Happycoin.club - The US State Department has announced a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the arrest of Ruja Ignatova, co-founder of the Onecoin crypto-pyramid scam.

Co-founder of bwf Onecoin Ltd. Ignatova began her fraudulent activities around the world in 2014 from Bulgaria. It raised billions of dollars from investors by claiming that Onecoin was significantly more promising than Bitcoin. By 2017, the organization received more than $4 billion.

On October 12, 2017, Ignatova was indicted by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Two weeks later, Ignatova fled Sofia for Athens and has been a fugitive ever since. In 2022, she was listed as one of the 10 most wanted fugitives by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
