The founder of OneCoin arrested. "Cryptocurrency" project turned out to be a pyramid
Source:
In the United States arrested the leader of the project OneCoin. He reportedly stole «billions» investors ' money through a Ponzi scheme. The U.S. attorney for the southern district of new York filed Rouge and Konstantin Ignatov allegations of fraud with the banking services and securities and in money laundering. According to available data, we are talking about several billion dollars. Constantine was arrested at the international airport in Los Angeles earlier this week. Ruja Ignatova is still at large.
According to a press release prosecutors, OneCoin is a pyramid. The participants received a Commission for recruiting new members. At the moment the project has more than 3 million customers from all over the world, each of which was to purchase the so-called kiptopeke.
As argued by the creators of the project, tokens mainelis servers OneCoin, and their price was regulated by supply and demand. In the report, law enforcement says that no statement is untrue. There is also information that ruja Ignatova was trying to remove from itself suspicions by sending out an email with notification of withdrawal from the company. It did not work — attorney Geoffrey Berman said that the crime is committed.
These scammers have created a multi-billion «cryptocurrency» company is entirely based on lies and deceit. They promised a huge income with minimal risk, but in fact the company was only a front for the pyramid of zeros and ones.
Presumably, Ignatova is currently under investigation in India — also for the activity with the pyramid. Another suspect, mark Scott was arrested last year in Massachusetts.

In China alone, the case OneCoin more than a hundred people. Indian authorities also arrested some of the project sponsors. More data to search for .
