OneCoin’s Ruja Ignatova indicted in Germany
Eight years after OneCoin’s collapse, German prosecutors have filed charges against founder Ruja Ignatova.
Instead of the timely pursuit of justice (Ignatova is a German national German authorities could have done something about well before she disappeared in 2017), Bielefeld prosecutors have only now filed charges to avoid the statute of limitations.
As reported by Fakti on September 18th;
The indictment aims to prevent the statute of limitations on the alleged crimes from running out, explained the head of the prosecutor’s office, Carsten Nowak.
If the Bielefeld district court proceeds with the case, the statute of limitations will be extended by five years. By which time investigators hope Ignatova will be detained.
While not impossible, there have been no confirmed sightings of Ignatova since October 2017.
Police in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia announced that assets worth about 28 million euros were confiscated during the investigation.
German authorities opened an investigation into Ignatova’s ex-husband Bjorn Strehl in 2021.
Stehl, also a German national, was charged with money laundering offences in May 2023. Since then there have been no further updates.
Sure, they can indict her all they want. It only matters when they catch her & put her @$$ in prison for running one of the globe’s largest Ponzi scheme in all history!
German journalist Martin Himmelheber reports in a detailed article on interesting developments related to OneCoin.

Melanie (sic);-
Interesting article.
If anyone cares I will give a further insight into the yacht.
I never of course ran RavenR. That’s well documented and I arrived much later after it was established.
I pointed that out and gave the background in response to Martin Himmelheber.
On the whole he has done a good job, I sent back the following in English. My extra comments follow.
I’m “at large” at my mother’s house in Johannesburg. I came home in December and keep coming back. Evidently I don’t have a problem at airports.
It must be an auto-translate thing. I don’t “attack OneCoin critics”.
I point out the hypocrisy of people (and there are only a few of them – there are genuine people deserving respect and they are in the majority), who have never achieved anything in life, and are trying to live off of Ruja’s message and sheer balls to do what she did by completely lying, being economical with the truth or insulting our intelligence by pretending that there weren’t nearly four million OC members – but they knew from the start… In other words, living like a parasite. The exact thing they accuse her of.
Afterword… I do of course have a problem with some people – and this is in no particular order –
1. Those who use pseudonyms and even hide their gender when attacking. When the internet first started, they were called “trolls”. I do again have a problem with Ad Hominem arguments;
2. Those who were once OC promoters but had a Damscene Conversion apparently and are more than after being likely upset that they didn’t earn more but are now push book deals and appearing on breakfast shows and launching attention grabbing law suits that a 2nd second year law student could tell you would fail. They’re not going to understand any of this;
3. People who just outright lie. And pretend that “independent” documentaries of them happened without them asking for it. And refuse an engagement later. You know who you are; and/or,
4. Fellow travellers. You’re not real journalists nor even bloggers. 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing. There’s a reason you are now an independent; and,
5. Self-appointed “investigators”. When you appear on Zoom from the US repeatedly and nobody in any authority knows who you are? Give it up; finally,
6. Those who claim they have worked with, or at least been consulted by authorities when the agencies have zero authority where they are? Come on. Especially when it is to promote their own output.
I think I can promise that the FBI has never sent anyone to Scotland or Norway with regard to this. Any conversation you might have had is off the record. Again, if I am generous and allow that it might have happened, you are being economical with the truth.
TL-DR. I’m not attacking. I’m certainly not defending Chelgate, C-R, Ruja, Schneider, etc. Don’t try and steal what you didn’t live.

Dear Duncan Arthur,
I had the opportunity to visit the Davina in Sozopol harbour beginning of September. The outside of the yacht does not look so good anymore, but there were clear signs that still a crew is on board, maybe for service only.
There is also another interesting German article about Ruja’s yacht from 08-Sep-25:
bnn.de/nachrichten/baden-wuerttemberg/geheimnisvolles-angebot-wer-verkauft-die-jacht-der-kryptoqueen
Interesting also the comment from Daniel Dässel LKA Düsseldorf (German criminal investigation) mentioned in the article.
Of course they would like to confiscate the Davina but at the moment they have no direct trace to Ruja. I really appreciate if you share your insights our thoughts with us… Many thanks!
Addition to comment #5.
Cristi Calina writes on Facebook that more than 1,000 people are expected to attend the webinar in the hall on Wednesday.

@ Marc
If I were a German police official, the last thing I would want to seize would be the yacht.
Martin asked me about it and I gave him a load of info.
Even in 2017, when Ruja threw her party and us hired help weren’t allowed to mix with her guests and ended up stuck on a lower deck with some of the crew, we got to hear about the condition.
One crew member said that they were glad that this was the relatively calm Black Sea. Another described the boat as “craptastic”. There was a general consensus that it looked very good after a refit but it was still a decades old yacht.
There is still a crew? Who pays them?
Hi Arthur,
I could observe several open doors and windows, the rear service hatch was also open. I estimate a yacht of this seize needs a minimum of regulary maintenance for the engines, electrical and electronical systems etc. to keep the boat operable.
Following Martin’s article it was or still is under the managment of the company Souvereign See Hermes, at least when the yacht was run as O’Leanna. Furthermore someone has to pay the habour fees, energy etc. which must be a huge sum over the years now.
We could kindly ask the major of Sozopol, but I do not think that we get a clear answere 🙂
So who pays it? Good question… I think the current “owner” who either offers charter for € 120.000/week or better likes to sell now for 5.9 millions to get rid of it.

In the Facebook group Oneecosystem.eu, which has 23,055 members, other scammers are also promoting the alleged exchange with various links to Telegram. Post by Oliver Mateo from today, who reportedly lives in Lagos.

Why does Oliver Mateo link to Paul Becky? Who is “Paul Becky”? Since when are women called Paul?

Google also finds the photo of “Paul Becky” under other names on numerous other accounts. Here are a few examples.

Good idea to see which sucker is still in the business with a full set of data delivered for free!

A very primitive fraudster calling himself Chris Polagon Kenneth is spreading the same lies on Facebook and linking to t.me/wanecosystemnetworkexchange.

On Telegram, this primitive idiot writes:
Of course, the photo does not show a “manager director,” but a real German CEO from the automotive industry, as can be seen on the right.
Furthermore, the term “ONELIFE” has not been used for years, because this scam is now called OneEcosystem, but “Chris Polagon Kenneth” writes wanecosystemnetworkexchange. 😀

PS: The term “Polagon” in his name probably means polygon, because no such name exists anywhere in the world.
Cristi Calina, Mai Loan, and all these others need to get with it and watch Norwegian TV. They’d discover that Mr Bitcoin Norway “singlehandedly brought down OneCoin”.
They must feel so silly collecting money
