Bank fraud added to Mark Scott’s OneCoin indictment
A superseding indictment has added one count of Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud against Mark Scott.
The superseding indictment was filed on October 3rd, a month shy of Scott’s November 4th trial.
As per the new count, the DOJ asserts Scott
and others known and unknown, willfully and knowingly did combine, conspire, confederate, and agree together and with each other to commit bank fraud.
It was a part and object of the conspiracy that Mark S. Scott … and other known and unknown, willfully and knowingly, would and did execute and attempt to execute a scheme and artifice to defraud a financial institution … and to obtain moneys, funds, credits, assets, securities, and other property owned by, and under the custody and control of, such financial institution, by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises.
The financial institution isn’t named in the indictment, but there’s a good chance it’s the Bank of Ireland.
Earlier this week the DOJ revealed they intend to present witness testimony from several Bank of Ireland employees.
If convicted of Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud, Scott faces a fine of up to $1 million and thirty years in prison.
Update 5th October 2019 – Mark Scotts’ arraignment has been scheduled for October 10th.
An October 4th Memo Endorsement advises that on the same date ‘the Court will also rule on the pending motions at the hearing.‘
This includes Scott’s suppression motion and DOJ’s request for permission to use CCTV for their Bank of Ireland witnesses.
@Oz – if I understand this correctly, Scott is now potentially facing an ADDITIONAL 30 YEARS …meaning he’s looking at a sentence of up to 50 YEARS IN PRISON if also convicted!?!
Dunno if the sentences linear stack but yeah, the 30 years is on top of his laundering potential sentence.
@Tim
Well since he laundered $400 million stolen from Ponzi victims, that is something he probably saw coming.
Article updated with arraignment date. Outstanding motions will also be decided on October 10th.
Something is not right here.
Everybody talks about investment when the scheme was only about opportunity. The coins were optional.
The education was the only package being paid for. Furthermore the coins can be used on dealshaker as an option.
SEC and regulatory bodies in the US are going to fall on there own knives.
^^ lawl
@ “Dave Smith”: you know what you’re saying isn’t true. The education could never sell on its own. It’s plagiarised and widely available elsewhere for free.
If the Defence in the SDNY bring up the education, they’re the ones who will fall on knives. They might join their clients in the dock.
Many people bought the same packages multiple times, did they need the education more than once? How do you share the education attached to a “PowerPack” when many people have clubbed together to buy it?
Do you know the exact number of people who didn’t use their ‘option’ to ‘mine’ coins (they are ‘tokens’ btw, & there is no evidence of any mining)?
I do and I’d avoid bringing it up. As for DS, if that is examined in court the whole Pandorra’s Box would open and you wouldn’t want that
Dear Sir,
I’m afraid you are ignorant of what the founder, visionary, Führer, Generalissimus and Great Helmsman of OneCoin, Ruja Ignatova, has said in the past. Take a look:

and

and

And in the past people could buy and sell their tokens/coins on an internal exchange. This is a tutorial who you can buy and sell coins and tokens from your OneCoin backoffice via OneExchange:

OMG, just realized that perhaps Ruja is missing because the consigliere Veselina Valkova kicked her out of the company — Ruja clearly broke the compliance rules by talking about invsetments and profit! 😉
You can see at the 0:29 timemark of this video how Ruja was under Veselina’s watchful and vengeful eyes even during 2016 London event:

(Is that Udo and Irina Dilkinska at 1:09?)
Finnish OneCoin mythical beast Tommi Vuorinen said in March that “the iron lady” Veselina has even berated Konstantin over something he said in his presentations.
Great discovery again, and nice selection of World’s Finest Scammers in that video (90% gone in the meantime).
Indeed at 1:09 Udo Carsten Deppisch and Irina Andreeva Dilkinska, 100% sure.
Hi, is there anyone can help me I had invested 5000.00 on one coins but I can’t open my account i they Rip me off.
i don’t know nothing where my money gone?
Yes, 100% correct:
this is the mass fraud Udo Carsten Deppisch!
You can also see Irina Dilkinska waving her hand at 2:30 timemark of this video (right corner, lady with tattoeed arms), and her whole face can be better seen:

Not a single word about education on this video by Ruja:

Good Lord, just when you thought you have seen everything with regards to this OneCoin scam — is that a golden Baphomet statue on Ruja’s drawer? 😉
@Peter
Much more interesting than the video are the lies underneath (partial quote):

@Dave Smith? Any comments? Lol..
Scott’s response to the Government’s CCTV motion was filed today, and is available on Courtlistener:
courtlistener.com/docket/7829201/united-states-v-scott/
Scott is of course against allowing it.
Complement to comment #18

I read the documents regarding Scott’s opposition to the Government’s motion to allow witnesses via CCTV.
Scott tries to dispute that the BOI workers could offer any significant contribution to the case, because everything the witnesses are supposed to tell, is already in the emails.
The exhibit emails show that Scott stonewalled any BOI inquires about who are really behind the Phoenix Fund, finally resorting to a “confidentiality agreement”.
It’s pretty much same as he did with Apex Fund: when they began to ask who is really behind Scott’s monies after finding a possible OneCoin connection, Scott refused to answer and terminated the Apex contract.
There is also his usual whine, that because Scott is such a poor and pitiful guy, he can’t, even with his considerable resources and connections, arrange a properly done and resourced legal defense.
As Government has showed, Scott has found money to support lavish lifestyle even in period after his legal troubles — but I guess legal defense too earthly and drag endeavour for a guy like him.
This lead me to cry a river:
They also whine about the superseding bank fraud charge, saying that it’s “vague” and “disruptive” deposition made too late in the process.
I’m not sure that there is anything that prevents them for asking yet another court day postponement.
Perhaps that’s what Government aims with their as-late-as-possible filings? Scott can taste some of his own medicine.
And it also appears that Goverment has good deal of new evidence constantly coming in, including the contents of OneCoin servers (possibly the file that Duncan/Jan-Eric talked about?):
I know Mark Scott for a long time. He was always a shady unethical person.
This isn’t the first tine he did something like this. But this time he got caught. Eventually all this bad things he did to others now he is getting it back.
The guy became rich over night flew privat jet for David Pike and his corrupt crew to Barnstable for his wedding.
He barely could pay the alimony to his poor ex wife and out of sudden haven million of dollars in property and yacht and lavish lifestyle. All this is from stolen money of innocent people.
His Russian wife Lidia v Kolesniskova Scott is as much involved in this as David and Nicole Huesmann is.
I am sure he transferee couple of entitle on his wife name or even to his mother which lives in Germany. he is as evil as he looks like.
couple of years ago he a had a friend suing him for a similar issue where the guys lost everything and he filled a compliance with fkorida bar for Mark Scott unethical behavior.
Mark got 2 lawyers involved and it was punched out of this file. Out of the sudden all the companies he had and was manager are all none active..
There is now yet another superseding indictment against Scott:
courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.482287/gov.uscourts.nysd.482287.143.0.pdf
The differences compared to the one that was filed last week seems to be that his crimes are alleged to have happened from September 2015 as opposed to 2016 in the previous document.
And his Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering is alleged to have violate also the Title 18 U.S. Code § 1343, which is “Fraud by wire, radio, or television”
If I understood it correctly, Scott is now facing up to 80 years in prison.
Thank you karma, semjon, Melanie, eagle eye Otto, oz , Timothy curry , and others who post frequently by this very informative site on MLM…you guys rock…
I would hope that Mark Scott is toasted and roasting in jail forever..hopefully us Onecoin victims will recover as much as we can from this…I put my money initially in August 2015.
Who was running this fund them? Time will tell. This will help the civil case for sure.
@Christine Grablis – couple questions which may open the can of worms for comments from experts here:
1. Were you instructed to use some specific “payment channel” or website to wire your payment?
2. If so, which one(s)?
3. If you wired money, what were the wiring instructions, specifically (ie., “do not say _________, say _____,” etc), and what was the name of the bank or beneficiary (and in what state)?
Some of us know ALOT in this regard.
4. Were you also solicited “moving over to the I-Pro Network *Opportunity*” while USA (victim investors) waited for further “clarity” on Onecoin “legality” in the states?
Hoping you’re able to share a bit about these, as many here have followed the tangled web since our about the time it began.
Ps. Sebastian is “CW-1” by all logic and is therefore NOT in Sweden.
I wired all my money to my friends cousin in Louisiana. The banks kept changing as to Wells Fargo. Chase, Capital One, Homebank and possibly others.
I questioned her about the various banks and she gave me some kind of answer to explain it away.
I initially put the purpose was for investments, then was told after several wires to put educational packages.
I was solicited to join IPROnetwork in February 2017 and wasted about 10K in that and made a deposit within a day or so before it collapsed, by the leaders.
I trusted my friend and her cousin and so here I am.
No doubt you’ve figured this out by now, but never, ever, ever trust an MLMer – stranger, friend, or family.
The MLMer is either outright lying, or they are repeating lies and don’t know it. Both bad. You simply don’t need to worry yourself with what they are trying to sell. Just know, if they are MLMers pimping an MLM “opportunity” RUN!
Sorry for your loss.
