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.

I will only mention the key points and the names mentioned.
– The planned sale of Ruja’s yacht “Davina”
– Ruja Ignatova’s German husband Björn Strehl. When will he definitely be charged and by which court?
Gilbert Armenta – Sebastian Greenwood and his drug addiction – Mark Scott – Frank Schneider – Konstantin Ignatov – Veska Ignatova – Duncan Arthur and Irina Dilkinska.

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.

It isn’t very accurate if your grasp on reality is missing. There’s no Norwegian with a shaky claim who “single handedly” “killed” it, evil English solicitors knowingly promoting a criminal organisation, a bored American retiree ringing their own bell looking for attention, a loud Scot with a damascene conversion, etc.
On the other hand, they were sympathetic to Konstantin

Lots of us that were there are wondering how the producers invented a Chinese gangster who looks and acts like Peter Sellers playing a young Dr Fu Man Chu.
Oh, and how Frank Schneider was also involved in a murder of Ruja. Real life Konstantin and Veska are unrecognisable in their film roles
Thanks OZ for your tireless and incredible work in exposing Ponzi schemes and scammers, these fraudsters work harder than the devil to deceive.
Ruja is definitely alive, didn’t she try to sell that London Penthouse years after she disappeared? Shocked lawyers/estate agents she instructed to sell for her are not talking to the police, emails not searched or bank accounts identified that she may be using to pay them or get money paid into after the sell of the property etc..
The CryptoQueen is still protected by a criminal network, Frank her spy man is on the run too and has not been caught for years and probably he is using the same network to keep him hidden. Isn’t he also worth millions? Didn’t Frank sell that Dubai flat for millions?
Also Duncan Arthur you are brave to expose everything you knew to law enforcement. I thought that documentary on OneCoin, Lie To Me I think it was called, was unethical and unprofessional in exposing you like that, they clearly put you in danger. If I was you I would sue as that was mean and malicious.
I think the billions of money acquired through the OneCoin scam is gone, criminals and corrupt politicians/police/lawyers/financiers working with Ruja and Sebastian have been paid very well from this scam and Ruja ran with most of it to pay for her protection and life on the run and other billions still out there can’t be found now as it is too well hidden or others have stolen it by now who were pretending to own it for Ruja and others like Sebastian.
Ruja and those influential and powerful people behind her are very clever and protective of each other because no one is talking and I bet there are people who know where she is.
I honestly believe Ruja and Sebastian started the OneCoin scam together as founders but it got to big and bigger players got involved who are dangerous and didn’t want the gravy train to stop. It’s very sad because so many people’s lives were destroyed.
I was told that there were rumours in Turkey years ago that when Ruja left Greece she had more plastic surgery in that country and was around Russian expats in Istanbul and surrounded by heavyset bodyguards from Russia who were ex-military protecting her and they were heavily armed, she also was renting a huge yacht and people knew it but no one spoke out because of the criminal ties she had to the people she was around.
Ruja was also using criminal networks in that country to move money and paid protection for her family in Bulgaria and she probably still is.
New rumours place Ruja in Moscow in Russia or in Switzerland in Geneva and Zug around Russians as they are the ones protecting her.
In Switzerland Ruja can continue enjoying her luxury lifestyle and no one will be suspicious as many rich people live there and that world is secretive anyway, no one will talk not even the help who are paid well. This story is so fascinating and so crazy.
Goldinah Star:
Frank will certainly have taken care of himself. You have to admire the balls on the guy.
Thanks for the shout out. Possibly the best thing about the Norwegian documentary (It’s actually a hagiography, Bjercke approached them with his unique take on his story and bent the truth in a way that makes you think the marketing department in Sofia should have been recruiting him), is that very few people have seen it.
There were OneCoin events in Asia this last weekend, there is one soon in Romania, the vast number of followers still believe, but yet Bjercke is the man who “who brought down OneCoin”? Single handedly too! That speaks for itself. They don’t deserve the oxygen of being given any attention
Duncan Arthur I definitely think Frank is badass, he was the one who had surveillance on Gilbert, Ruja’s mister lover, and during the recording of him they found out he was working for the FBI and he wasn’t going to leave his wife for the criminal CryptoQueen wanted by the police internationally, LOL, I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw the BBC documentary that was amazingly insane.
How is OneCoin still operating? Where is law enforcement to stop it? Clearly OneCoin is possibly a money laundering outfit for criminal networks and Ruja and Sebastian were just a front for this enterprise because it is continuing after many have been arrested and Ruja is still on the run.
I hope we find out the truth. Also do you feel safe and still have bodyguards? Bjercke said he moves around a lot for his and his families security and still fears for his life which is shocking he and the filmmakers disclosed confidential information about you knowing the Mafia ties to OneCoin is disturbing.
@ Goldinah Star
Frank was by far the cleverest person involved.
One Coin still operates because the vast majority of people refuse to believe that the money, hope and time they invested in it are sunk. It will kick on forever. If it wasn’t clear who was running it before, it’s now completely hidden.
If Konstantin and Irina can move freely around Sofia after spilling their guts to the US authorities, why is anyone going to care about a pedestrian like Bjercke? Or anyone else who did some damage? The guy likes attention and the melodrama. He can’t generate it so he attached himself to something bigger on a flimsy connection
Duncan Arthur I agree. 1 question annoying me is, do you think this Al Qasimi guy really gave Ruja $50 million of Bitcoin in a cold USB wallet because surely US authorities can trace the money via crypto wallets and see where it is moving?
Something doesn’t add up about that, I think lawyer representing victims called JLevy said he thinks the Arab sheikh still had full access to it due to money moving in Seychelles and possibly he is still helping Ruja. It’s mindboggling.
I don’t think Ruja is in Dubai, UAE because Kuwait said she was helping to launder terror funding money which is unbelievably stupid of her and I think she will be arrested if she is in Arabian lands and the sheikh said she double crossed him anyway which again shocking but like you said Ruja is cold-hearted for letting her little brother take the fall for her.
I wonder if Konstantin cares about her anymore, if he and his family wonders if she is safe or even alive, I’m shocked they haven’t demanded a death certificate for her.

German journalist Martin Himmelheber has published a new, detailed article in connection with the six-part documentary “Take the Money and Run.”

@ Goldinah Star
That transaction with the USB drives and what was $ 50 million in BTC at the time really did happen. There are witnesses and there are photographs.
If Jonathan Levy says something, it’s true. He is the only victim’s advocate with a direct line to the US authorities, who represents the full spectrum and who can say he had an impact on the trials and sentencing of notable people. The other self-appointed one bounces from one disaster to another and costs other people real money.
It’s not a popular opinion but I class Konstantin as a victim
Yes Duncan Arthur, Jonathan Levy is a great lawyer advocating for victims, yes just read his updated file on Dubai OneCoin connection to Ruja about transfer of USB cryptocurrency with sheikh. Why then isn’t the 4 crypto wallets been monitored and investigated?
The investigation into OneCoin is disgustingly slow, Ruja still at large, billions lost, victims suffering, police and justice system still none the wiser on full details on this scam. Horrendous really.
I don’t think Konstantin is a victim, him holding those African kids as he robbed their parents is sick. I’m sure Sebastian and Ruja informed him about what was going on, he took the fall for his sister but he shouldn’t have unless he was threatened.
Also is Tv series, “Take the money and run” in English or have subtitles as would love to watch it?
@ Goldinah Star
The wallets and the details have been available for investigation for years now. I’d like to know why nothing has been done.
I spent hours with Konstantin, sometimes whole days. We know each other’s mothers. My mother thought Konstantin was absolutely enchanting. He had no idea what he stepped into. He didn’t ask for this. Konstantin was a best mate, and is
There is no way she is hiding out in Geneva. Shes somewhere that she can’t easily be extradited.
Mike. Yeah Ruja has surgery now though, she can’t be recognised and if Russians are protecting her she has to move around their circles outside of Russia.
I think she deffo lives full time in Moscow but moves around a lot for safety. I think South Africa is highly likely too as German officials or journalists thought she was there and many criminals hide there.
Duncan Arthur it is frustrating, it is downright wrong more investigation isn’t been done into the crypto wallets Ruja has and money is not being followed. I feel a lawyer for OneCoin victims need to follow this up.
Konstantin was manipulated I believe that but he should have walked away but I feel he knows more about Ruja’s situation but due to loyalty or fear he remains silent and I respect that, he isn’t a rat like his sister who used him.
Her being in South Africa is highly likely. SA was barely touched by OneCoin and that was probably deliberate.
The authorities have a complete data set on how everything moved and worked. We offered this to the group who brought the English action.
They said they didn’t want it… They’d much rather lose in court to the Islam brothers and have to pay their legal fees with someone else’s money.

Woah Cristi Calina the Romanian scammer still running the OneCoin scam in Romania has kicked the bucket? He wasn’t that old, do we know how he died or is he really dead? Will this now stop the Scam continuing in Romania?
It’s crazy how people connected to OneCoin are dying mysteriously, suddenly, disappearing or running from the law!
Duncan you okay? You not feeling depressed or in bad health are you? Stay safe! Maybe Bjercke has good reason to be afraid. Goodness me!
Asking for donations for the family? Seriously? What happened to the millions of dollars he stole pimping OC that the family is now broke and needs donations to pay for his funeral? Well, that’s what he claimed anyway.

Dear all,
I would like to go back to the 25-Oct-17.
We all know the story that Ruja went on a Ryanair commercial flight and following FBI witnesses flight data report that Ruja took this flight. But I wonder that US authorities never released any CCTV footage from the security cams neither from Sofia airport nor from Athens airport to address potentional witnesses.
I think the US auhorities for sure checked the CCTV footage and secured it. But what did they discover? For therory, was the person who checked-in in Sofia the same who left in Athens?
Well, I am sure the Steinkeller Brothers, Islam Brothers, Igor Alberts, Andreea Cimbala, Tommi Vuorinen, Chris Principe, and King Jaymes will immediately donate to give him a first-class burial.
What does this announcement by Tatiana Rusu, DealShaker Country Manager Moldova, on January 16, 2026, on Facebook mean?

^ It means like it says, to send and receive ONE coins both members need to have an active package bought. Previously it was possible to create an account and receive coins from a member without buying a package, but not anymore.
For example Erick Rueda, a scammer from Panama, sells his own QFS online course where he claims QFS is new “quantum financial system” now in operation which was developed by space aliens (I’m not kidding).
youtu.be/qe5soP8z_K0
So Rueda sells those courses for $24.5 and offers in addition 25 free ONEs from himself for those who buys his course. But now those who buy his course must also buy and activate an education package in order to receive the coins.
It’s clear even Rueda doesn’t believe anymore that ONE will ever have a real value, otherwise he wouldn’t be giving away over 1000 euros coin “value” per course he sells.

OneCoin somehow lives.
Way more people, and I mean a lot more, have paid tribute to Cristi Calina online, on message groups or even going to his memorial than bought McAdam’s book or believed Bjercke when he said he “brought down” this.
Are you guys going to comment?
I didn’t think so. The upcoming DS event in Vietnam this Saturday would be the perfect opportunity
Just goes to show you the power of the OC cult. You have a bunch of ignorant and deluded people praising a crook believing he was a good man.
You have the One Ecosystem proclaiming that OC is dead and exists no longer. It has been replaced with the new One Ecosystem. Fleecing the new gullible and ignorant people into buying worthless education material and pretending to have an online shopping experience that rivals Alibaba, Amazon merchant opportunities.
They desperately need money as their current system is failing dramatically. Merchants leaving, can’t get enough new merchants to join despite all the smoke and mirrors of success.
DealShaker was a joke when it launched, and it has always been a joke. It was all smoke and mirrors and lie after lie.
No need to wait until Saturday.
Post 2017 collapse I just see OneCoin as a bunch of bagholders hoping something will happen. Same as most of crypto but without the organized crime element to pump and dump on repeat (which is kind of ironic).
Pyramid recruitment is dead outside of a few small pockets in third-world countries. If OneCoin were to ever take off again, even in the “crime is legal” era whoever became the face of it wouldn’t last long.
It’s an effectively dead MLM, kept alive on a budget because enough low-IQ people are still involved.

@Melanie
You seem to know quite a lot about OneCoin and Ruja
You said in one post that Veska broke down when she heard that Ruja did not attend to an investor meeting. Can you tell me where you got that from?
Also, between the investors meeting which was about 14 days prior to the flight to Athens (when was it exactly?), what happened?
The Ice Queen told in a documentary that Ruja was not replying on any social media on a certain day, was that the day she flew to Athens? Or what day was that? I would appreciate if you could tell me if you can say anything to this?
@ Blue
I’d too be interested to hear how anyone heard Veska broke down when she heard Ruja didn’t attend a meeting.
I remember reactions in the office (if they even were reactions) in Sofia (Veska included) very differently.
I guess the key phrase is what you said: “seem to know”.
The flight to Athens was on the 25th. That’s if you believe Ruja really took it. Emails and phone calls stopped being answered regardless of who initiated them on about the 16th, and depending on who you were some people spoke to her or got a reaction after that until the 25th
@Duncan
Thank you for replying!
Konstantin said he was in contact with Ruja on the 23rd October and booked a flight to Vienna and on the 24th October to book a flight to Athens, is this information at least credible? Maybe this is a bit too personal Duncan but I recall you said you got along very well with Konstantin, he never talked about you about the time before Ruja disappeared? If they talked with each other?
Also could you tell us how you remember the reactions? Maybe you cannot and that is fine I am just curious honestly
Asdis Ran aka IceQueen says in a documentary that “I have checked Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and everywhere she was offline for 12 hours” so either she deleted those apps and only communicated from the 16th on with SMS or she switched her phones? Of course that is just speculation but for me it seems plausible
Then there is this lawyer from London who managed her “fortune” to invest in assets, he said in the podcast “Missing Cryptoqueen” episode 9 or 10 that in the last 2 weeks prior to her disappearance he communicated with Ruja, that they even had a meeting on the 25th which she confirmed a few days before. This seems credible too? Since why would he lie about that? But those meetings were about investing in assets in the UK, why were they so important the she chose to keep communicating with this lawyer but not with so many other people? Seems strange
Dear Duncan,
Thank you for your comment about Ruja’s flight on 25-Oct-17 and “that’s if you believe Ruja really took it”. To be honest I have my doubts and this is why I asked in a former comment why authorities never released any airport security video footage from Sofia and / or Athens. I think we all listened to some of the recorded phone calls between Ruja and Gilbert, but has anybody ever seen any videos from Ruja passing the airports? Airport CCTV footage is stored for some time and I am quite sure the US autorties, being so close after Ruja, have this material. Did they discover via biometrical checks a fake “Ruja” but have kept telling the flight-to Athens-story until today for tactial reasons? German procecutor Carsten Novak confirmed that the German authorities requested video footage from the airport in Athens early 2018 but they got the answere “already deleted”.
It sounds all like a story for an espionage movie. But I am sure Ruja had all the ressources to be always one step ahead. She had Frank Schneider of course, but I think for such a well arranged escape, the flight to Athens beeing true or just a fake to confuse and gain time, very powerful people in Bulgaria made the final decisions and arrangements. Ruja is said to have contacts to and got protection by the bulgarian mafia. The bulgarian mafia are not simply just gangs of brutal criminals, it can be regarded as succesor organisations of the mighty communist period bulgarian secret service “SD” which, beside the brutal regime over the bulgarian people, was also known for mafia style buisness like drug and weapon trafficking, tobacco smuggeling, contract killings etc. After 1989 the ex SD members just matched their newly founded organisations like VIS or SIS to the new economical situation and finally ruling bulgarian economy, authorities and politics until today.
I have some ties to Bulgaria and my friends there confirmed that you cannot even run a small serious buisness if they do not like it. So how can we think that Ruja could run her multi million buisness without any benefits for this people, without protection or even could arrange her escape in 2017 by her own decisions? With this background I am convinced that Ruja’s disappearal was planned and carried out on the level we can only imagine from espionage organisations because the people above Ruja had the ressources to act like one. It is likely that we will never find out because the people who may know and could talk either diappear, get killed or hide the truth for any reasons. Ok, this comment is not an MLM topic, but I would like to share my thoughts here on this page.
@Blue
I have been observing and commenting on the OneCoin scam since March 2015. At first only in Germany, later also on BehindMLM, but I can’t remember every detail anymore. I’m sorry.
I’m sure I didn’t write that. Where did you read that?
You can help me answer your questions by providing me with links to my previous comments. That way, I may be able to provide specific answers to your questions.
If I remember correctly, an event was supposed to take place in Lisbon (Portugal) on October 7, 2017, but Ruja did not attend this event.
@ Blue & Marc
1. I find it incredibly unlikely that one of the most glamorous attention seekers in a dull city like Sofia could do something so unusual for her & board a packed Ryanair flight in front of over 150 people and yet nobody remembers it.
She went through three international airports but there is no CCTV footage, no record of the manifests being checked, no witnesses and private material recorded? Come on!
I can’t remember anybody in the Sofia office believing the Ryanair saga. The two people who spread it have issues with the authorities and vested interests in it being believed;
2. Which brings us onto Konstantin. It’s hard not to like the guy. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was forced to take over;
3. The reactions to Ruja going walkabout were relaxed and not at all panicked. It was treated as the most natural thing in the world. Some of us were relieved. She had run out of patience with a few and we expected to be fired.
The reaction when Konstantin got arrested was very different.
Ruja was expected to walk through the door at any minute; and,
4. The reaction of the London lawyer is correct. He was horrified. He is completely above board. Ruja was in touch with whoever she thought was important after she became unavailable to the bits of network she didn’t like.
Konstantin said as much in his testimony.
That says a lot about Igor Alberts – and others – preening about their importance afterwards when they had to hear the news second hand
Addition to comments #38 and 39.
Referring to the six-part German documentary “Take the Money and Run,” a newspaper in Luxembourg has published an interesting article. It focuses specifically on the role of Frank Schneider from Luxembourg.

@Duncan,
Many thanks for your comments and insights.
You wonder that nobody remembers or has any private documentation like handy videos from Sofia’s most glamurous attention seeker from the airport(s) or during the flight? I think it is not an indication that Ruja herself or a person looking like her did not take the flight.
I do not think that this person arrived at Sofia airport wearing elegant buisness dress and diamond ear rings with one or two bodyguards at her side to check in a low budget RyanAir flight.
Furthermore I do not think that that kind of travellers using RyanAir did know Ruja so well that they would recognize her immidiately. In October I think most travellers were working migrants, so people who travel back to work or back to their families for a short visit and they have other problems than knowing Ruja.
I think you also know Sofia airport quite well.There is the very old terminal 1 which is so small tat you can not sit alone in a quiet corner, everybody can have a look at everyone. But Ryanair was the only low budget airline which used the much bigger and modern Terminal 2 from January 2017 on.
So beside the timing, very early in the morning when people are still half asleep and do not care so much for others, also the fact that a flight from Terminal 2 was choosen, was perhaps not a coincidence at all.
It was only reported that the FBI checked the “travel documents”, whatever it means. I am quite sure that the US authorities have confiscated CCTV footage but have also their reasons not to share.
Same with Frank Schneider, no authority “officially” seems to care about him after he disappeared. Even authorities follow their own interests.
@Melanie from Germany,
Many thanks for your link to the interesting article dealing with Frank Schneider’s role ine the “Take-the-money-and-run” series and his real life at Luxemburg intelligence service SREL.
Whereas in the series he acted like the loyal and friendly uncle Frank on whom Ruja could blindly rely on and rest her head at his shoulder if she wanted. He had always everything under control, except the slightly funny episode where he exchanged Ruja’s for his live to this asian gangster Ruja had betrayed before.
But who was the real Frank Schneider, his character and inner contradictions? I think the article gives some good answeres.
Being with most of such members of this “special” services is that they live and work in a greyzone where moral and dismoral are not clearly seperated anymore, lies and truths can be exchanged, manipulation is a standard and well trained measure.
Without public oversight, the absence of morality and law prevails, and at some point, one considers oneself untouchable and accountable to no one.
It would be interesting how the real Frank Schneider during his time at Onecoin was, maybe Duncan is willing to share some insights?
Nevertheless Frank Schneider prooves since nearly 3 years that somebody can disappear without leaving a hot trace if somebody have the ressources and knows how to use them.
It exists a German documentary about the search of Ruja called “Kryptoqueen – Die Jagd”. Does anyone happen to have that documentary or knows how I could watch it?
It is not any of those videos which you can find on YouTube. It includes an interview with a German investigator talking about the trace in South Africa
A simple search gave me this: vincent-productions.com/kryptoqueen-die-jagd/. You just have to put in the https:// first.
@ Marc Jansen
Frank is nothing like how he was portrayed in the drama.
In real life he doesn’t smoke or drop food all over himself and wherever he is sitting. He’s quiet and reserved.
He was never in Bulgaria, never set foot in a OC office and was completely unknown to the vast majority of the staff
Thank you but you cannot view the documentary on that site. The video was taken down
@Blue
The German doumentaries produced by Johann von Mirbach contain a 90 min. film and four shorter episodes dealing more with Ruja herself.
But do not expect so much exiting news especially about the trace to SA. In an interview during one episode jurnalist Philpp Bovermann said that they had to stop their investigation because it had become too dangerous for them in Capetown. Instead they show a well dressed SA real state agent explaining the needs of wealthy people there who for some reasons want to live exclusivly but somehow hidden.
Here a link to an interview with Johann von Mirbach:
nrwz.de/schramberg/onecoin-doku-die-kryptoqueen-auf-arte-und-in-der-ard-371310.html
Much more interesting are the articles on bird.bg, a Bulgarian page run by investigative journalists. Check for the articles about Krasimir Kamenov (Kuro), follow his way from beeing one of the top mafia kingpins in Bulgaria and buisness partner of Hchristoforos Amanatidis (Taki) also in the time of Onecoin, then how he was driven out of buisness, accused of murderer and fled to SA and finally got shot there with his wife and 2 employes.
Following one articel about Ruja’s murder they claimed that he was source of the police documents that Ruja was killed 2018 on Taki’s order.
It is not so much about truth or untruth, if Ruja is dead or alive, but it gives you a feeling how things work in Bulgaria within these circles.

@Duncan,
Of course nobody serious expected the real Frank Schneider to walk through Onecoin offices, checking security cameras, observing staff and feeding himself with cookies. In the series something was needed for entertainment…
I think in Frank’s buisness, beside ressources and knowledge,the other important thing is discretion, you stay and act behind the curtain.
Did Frank and Ruja had regulary face-to-face meetings? I assume you once met Frank in person?
@ Marc
I met Frank in Luxembourg only once. We spoke a few times on the phone.
I think Frank would have been more entertaining as his real self than the Inspector Clouseau/Boss Hogg combination they portrayed.
Ruja told me when I first met her that she was reliant on the “two Franks” – Schneider & Ricketts.
I can’t blame Schneider for vanishing
@Duncan
So far I know Frank hoped not be extradited to the US and his trial to be held in Luxemburg. But, may be due to the fact that he played a role in a former scandal about illegal actions by SREL, he was dropped.
If he feared only to end for decades behind bars in the US or even more for his life because he knew too much is only known by him. I do not know if the internal Onecoin documents he shared with the BBC and perhaps others were so important that they could really harm.
For sure he was not mad and had reflected and choosen everything very very carefully. In the interviews he refused to say any name of these “gangsters” and “crooks”, he is a professional and knows the rules.
The other Frank or IMS- Frank, yes. I was surpriced how stupid someone could be to use, beside accounts at big German banks which are used to such sums of money, an account by the very small local bank “Sparkasse Steinfurt” with a branch office in the even smaller village of Ibbenbüren to transfer millions of Euros (sometimes per day) which led to a note to the BAFIN in 2017. Did Ruja supervise IMS actions in detail?
Hi Marc,
To start:
1. Frank is an intelligence operative. He knows exactly what to plant, what to do, etc. The people trying to find him outside of what is his comfort zone are never going to find him and the people who might are one of his own. Good luck to the fat Scot whatever and the Bjercke. The real world doesn’t care;
2. Does anybody really think that a past head of intelligence of a NATO country and EU stalwart was ever going to really be extradited to the US?; and,
3. Does anyone think that Mark Scott, who brought the brother of a previous US President, let’s forget his old man right now, into OC is ever going to serve a single day?
@ Marc
The IMS accounts were not authorised and controlled by Ruja.
@Marc Jansen
Ruja had ordered that only the username of the buyer and the package purchased should be mentioned on the transfers, but never OneCoin. In this way, she wanted to prevent banks from becoming aware of OneCoin.
postimg.cc/ZWW7RhdK
If it matters, I personally told Ruja in January 2017 that this was stupid and that if there was nothing… Goes to show.
Marc
This isn’t where you go fishing. You know that.
Contact Dr Levy if you’re legit.
@Melanie from Germany,
Yes indeed, that was the way to go.
But little Sparkasse Steinfurt staff wondered how much money was transferred through this account. This is more a bank for ordinary people and small local companies. So not a good choice if you want transfer a lot of Euros. Furthermore, as you know, IMS had no legal license to carry out these transfers in Germany.
The Münster trial reports are very interesting to read, including the forensic investigations about the “blockcain” on the confiscated PCs from Sofia office raid in 2018.
@Duncan,
If I do remember correctly Frank was the director of the operational unit at SREL and was said to be involved a scandal including illegal recordings of politicians like Jean- Claude Junker.
Following LU news Frank was dropped by the government and finaly France minister of justice signed the extradicton to the US.
That does not mean Frank’s ex SREL collegues let him drop also, I think in this buisness you are never out. Frank executed his countermeasures.
To your other comments: we are not living in a world of truth and justice, we living in a world of interests.
Thank you for the tip to contact Dr. Levy, I have already done this.
For sure he will confirm this to you and I am real and reachable.
@Marc Jansen
You refer to Münster trial reports. Are these documents public?
Do you have a link maybe?

These findings match with the diagram and description published on the (now obsolete) website onecoinscam.info, still visible in the Web Archive: web.archive.org/web/20200203074456/https://onecoinscam.info/blockchain-simulator/
@OneCon Squad Sofia,
Indeed it is a lot of stuff to work through.
For me it was very interesting how IMS got into Onecoin and Mannon H., CEO of IMS and wife of Frank R., said that she had to rely on the information her husband shared with her and she never met Ruja. And even during the early ramp-up phase banks started to ask questions also due to the confusing customers transaction information adding “Onecoin” to it, and Ruja had to adjust the process by a direct order. Not everything went perfekt…
The next interesting O/C trial will come in the 2nd half of this year against Björn S., (ex?) husband of Ruja.
nrwz.de/schramberg/onecoin-prozess-gegen-ignatovas-ehemann-kommt-535009.html
In the “Take-the-money-and-run” series he was portrayed more as a family oriented and concerned husband, loving father and not to be involved in Onecoin directly and not to be a criminal at all.
Of course the producers had to be very careful how to present him.
Keeping in mind that, following the press, the trial was in danger to be dropped due to a conflict which court is responsible, I hope it will come to an end much quicker than the Münster trial…

Unfortunately, the full article can only be read by subscribers. 🙁
I don’t think anyone’s surprised the former head of the CIA equivalent of Luxembourg turned up in Luxembourg.
Does anyone seriously think that the former head of an EU and NATO country’s intelligence service who walks around with Juncker’s and the Arch Duke’s numbers on his phone is ever going to appear in the US?
Especially now with the US going full retard in respect of Europe. And that bit about legalizing corruption. I’d be surprised if they are even looking for Ruja really.
Good luck Frank. You did what your detractors never dared and you’re getting away with it

Bjercke,
As the guy who “single handedly” “brought down” OneCoin, why not comment on this, and the fact that there are multiple OC and DealShaker events planned this weekend:

German journalist Martin Himmelheber pointed out to me that Konstantin Ignatov now has his own YouTube channel.

Konstantin, you roll with it! Nobody ever lived punk rock and fake crypto like you did.
I posted this comment to that Konstantin’s Youtube video.
Strangely he deleted my comments without replying, how could that be? 😀
Am I missing something or wasn’t Konstantin “moving on” from OneCoin?
I get that’s pretty much impossible while she’s still at large (make your bed, lie in it), but this feels like cashing in on notoriety. The opposite of “moving on”.
Also what happened to bro’s face? Looks like he spent the last week wearing snorkeling goggles strapped on too tight.
A question for Duncan: Konstantin was charged in March 2019 when he was arrested at the airport. I think I remember you saying that Ruja was not dead as Konstantin admitted to you when you were with him in the US in 2019 that he had spoken to her recently. is this true, or is my memory failing me?
If true, then he lied in his lie detector test. He said he had not talked to her since she disappeared on Oct 25, 2018 and had no idea where she is.
@Lynn, did you make a typo? Ruja flew to Athens on October 25, 2017.
@ Lynn
He spoke to her when I was in the room. He told me on the day he was arrested that he was seeing her the next week.
We need to please get over the Athens thing. She never took that flight
Well, Konstantin removed another critisizing comment by someone else which was visible during the night but “very surprisingly” disappeared later today.
I was sure, instead of answering, the comment will strangely disappear, so I took a screenshot of it, link below.
Konsta knows he’s a lying crook trying to white wash and capitalize with his past. According to other comments it’s working pretty well especially with women. 😀
Nothing new, that’s what these lying crooks do.

K does whatever he heeds to do.
If there was a realistic play that McStupid, yes the FBI, DoJ, call her as, I’m on stand-bye
First of all the circumstances K did perform this lie detector test raised some questions.
Was this a certified detector and was the operator a qualified operator? If I was K I would have shown at least the script with the electrical pulses of answering the questions.
And how many times K have been asking exactly this questions before? I estimate his answeres, true or untrue, does not make him nervous anymore.
Like Duncan commented before, he is very sure that Ruja was not on on the flight to Athens at all. As I commented weeks before, I personaly doubt that the real Ruja took this flight as long as any officials do not present any evidence…
Yes, I did make a typo. My point being he said he talked to her in 2019 yet his lie detector said he was telling the truth that he didn’t know if she was alive or dead after Oct. 25, 2017.
Just showing he lied, but the “lie detector” said he was telling the “truth.” Duncan confirmed this.
So all the rest of his “so-called” lie detector test is as fake as he is. Just trying to sanitize his past and the gullible are buying it.
Nobody in Sofia or London believed that.
Konstantin is the coolest person alive because Elvis is dead and so are most the Beatles and Stones.

@ Lynn
I got absolutely grilled by the Feds.
They reappeared in London.
I’m guessing I’m either telling the truth or they really loved the 5 Tb of data.
Either way, K as much of how I like the guy (and we’ll forget the laptop for the moment), is off-base here.

Well that certainly was an interesting watch. Let’s just say he was not a fan of the German documentary.
Interesting to see that he has now become a political and economist expert about Germany and Bulgaria. But he did get a plug in for his book.
Let’s just say I don’t plan on taking investment advice from him any time soon, like never.
Really trying hard to do a reputation rewrite and bury his past. His problem is that for the people in OneCoin, they know who he is and are not going to accept his reputation cleansing attempts no matter how hard he tries.
@Lynndel, you shouldn’t judge Konstantin so harshly! In a three-hour video from June 12, 2025, he explained why he became Ruja’s successor.

Does anyone know if Ignatov wrote his own book?
Only asking, because “international author” Jen McAdam readily admits to using a ghost.
Duncan,
Think so. He also released a poetry book.
You could ask Konstantin directly. Here’s his email address.

He of course wrote it himself. He is articulate and his story makes sense
