Indian authorities hunting six OneCoin affiliate fugitives
With twenty-four OneCoin affiliates already behind bars, Indian authorities are closing in on top Indian OneCoin affiliates.
The latest out of India is reports that the Economic Offenses Wing are “hunting” four Indian nationals and Mary Beyance and Ereena Andreva.
Beyance and Adreva are from Mauritius and Bulgaria. The EOW’s investigation revealed the pair were responsible for for coordinating the laundering of OneCoin stolen Ponzi funds out of India.
The money trail in the scam had led the police to two accounts in the name ‘Premium Payment Solution’, where Amit Kedia was the director, while Beyance and Belkinska were the signing authorities.
While one of the accounts held around ₹19 crore, another had ₹5 crore.
Investigations later revealed that Kedia had a share of just 0.1% in the money.
He had been named director because foreign investors need an Indian director as per government rules.
Authorities in Mauritius recently announced their own investigation into OneCoin, including links between Beyance and the shell company Be More Global Ltd.
Amid growing suspicion they might be on the take, authorities in Bulgaria have yet to lift a finger against OneCoin or any of its affiliates.
Meanwhile back in India, the four Indians the EOW are hunting down
have been identified as Sanjay Patel, Tejas Goswami, Amit Nimavat and Sanjay Pandey.
Look-out notices have been issued nation-wide, while authorities continue to seize assets illegally obtained with ill-gotten Ponzi gains.
Jitendra Bhardula (38) and Jitendra Dhanoria (40) were the last two arrested in May, with the police seizing luxury cars worth ₹90 lakh from them.
The police had also seized a receipt of ₹20 lakh paid to a builder as advance payment for a ₹3 crore flat, and a second one of ₹4.50 lakh paid to another builder for a ₹70 lakh flat, from Bhardula.
The EOW have assigned four Assistant Police Inspectors to coordinate a team of fifteen officers investigating OneCoin.
Despite authorities in India and Norway actively targeting OneCoin affiliates, the company has yet to publicly address the situation.
Kari Wahlroos and Dr. Zafar up for event in India 25.06. Already “SOLD OUT”.
lol intersting to see what hapoens.cancelled in the last minute. onelifeevents.eu/en/
Is the Bulgarian Irina Dilkinska as she is the corporate Lawyer.
@cryptokill –
An astronomical coincidence of chance? Any statisticians in the room? Would love to see the mathematic formula and other variable factors in determining the likelihood of such a strikingly similar identification, location and employer.
I’ve searched both names without finding matches to Ereena nor finding a middle name or initial for Dilkinska (OneLife’s Head of Legal and Compliance).
If anyone can make this link definitively, it demonstrates proof that the investigation and money laundering accusations, of course, lead up to the VERY TOP of the organization!
This is my heavenly Irina . I think I might have lost her?
And then I was offered my original investment back as a goodwill gesture which never materialised either -Forget if it was Ruja or Irina who came short.
i really don’t care but regret that 3 million Affiliates are holding out for their cryptopoly options.. Pehr Karlsson’s trial outcome next week my blue eyed boy!!
One coin logo needs to be removed from this news.
All those involved with arrests made huge scam with promises, all under onecoin concept cover. They heavily violated company rules and should be proccessed but not linked to company since company does not endoese such behaviour.
Dr Zafar is real onlife representative. Let’s see how he plays out.
Note: unfortunately onelife has no real leaders in india
No it doesn’t. Fair Use.
OneCoin is a Ponzi scheme with a layer of pyramid recruitment. The affiliates only represented it as such.
The “company rules” (read: pseudo-compliance) of a Ponzi scheme don’t matter to regulators. It’s fraud no matter how you dress it up.
Sure it does. They’re named fugitives in the article and the EOW are seeking their arrest.
Well, we already saw how Tom McMurrain reacted after promising 10-20 million dollars from Power Pack – He canceled his Indian tour he had hyped for like 3 months, without any explanations.
All top leaders, even Ruja has promoted ‘against company compliance’. It’s a total joke.
@Igor Krnic: Every time something unconformable happens to OC, then OC i s claiming not to be responsible because they are not involved, just a IMA or someone else. Please take a look at case law. It is funny when OC non-lawyers want to explain how liability law works.
If the authorities and law enforcement is confirming to investigate OC then this can be considered true.
Why hasn’t Ruja been arrested?
@Linda: She is not located in India/was not *directly* involved there. She studied law, she is mart, she know how to prevent legal actions. The whole OC stuff is very well thought out.
The OC guys are announcing the (fake?) news yet on they’r secret whatsapp channels, etc.
Well… In Swiss only the public prosecutor can archive investigations (Art. 309, 310 penal procedure code). I am surprised that OC is claiming the police stopped the investigations – the police can’t.
For what it is worth, i notified the public prosecutor in Bern about the OC press release and provided information what OC is.
By the way: Mr. Igor Krnic and OC guys/IMAS is legally liable (in some country’s) as well for promoting OneCoin, i notified the authorities there.
Yeah, the “Swiss police closese OneCoin investigation” is totally fake news, because there’s a translation error in the spanish article in Lavanguardia.
The article in the spanish Lavanguardia is from 20th March, and it should be about the old news of Sweden police closing the investigation (which they immeadiately resumed). But for some reason the spanish translation mixes it up and say “Swiss” instead of “Swedish”.
Well, now this totally fake news about Swiss police closing investigation is spreading like crazy among the idiot OneCoiners who don’t do any due diligence, or are just on purpose spreading this and don’t care that it’s incorrect. Because with this translation error they got new positive news.. OneCoin style.
Here’s the original OneLife’s PR newswire article from March 20:
Swedish Police Close OneCoin Investigation
Here’s the Lavanguardia article translating the March 20 PR Newswire incorrectly, saying it’s about Swiss police: COMUNICADO: La policía suiza cierra la investigación de OneCoin
One Dream Team has publicly announced that they are planning a heist in Guadalajara, Mexico on the 15th.
eventsoja.com/mx/guadalajara/e7367853
Would be nice if Mexican Federales showed up to monitor how much money is to be stolen. Any fluent Spanish speakers here willing to make some calls?
Kari Wahlroos and Muhammad Zafar OneCoin scammers coming to India
25-26.6 (June) Delhi
22.7 (July) Delhi
26.7 (July) Mumbai
Kari Walhroos Tour dates
Muhammad Zafar coming to India
Please everybody especially in India, contact Delhi and Mumbai EOW police and let them know the scammer leaders are coming!
Actually they did not. At least not all of them.
AFAIK the people first arrested in India had sold OneCoins (which they probably received after being scammed) for a fraction of the price OneCoin states. (By creating a rookie account and moving coins to it.)
If the OneCoin Ponzi pimps want us to believe the coin is worth EUR 12.45… there should be nothing wrong if someone “becomes rich” by buying OneCoins for EUR 6.75, right? Smart buyer, stupid seller.
Unless – of course – if the coins are worthless. Then the seller is ripping off the buyer and committing a crime…
…as would be the entire OneCoin/OneLife that is claiming the coin has value of EUR 12.45.
Is that the same Igor Krnic who is/was the CEO of KGB.net?
Yes it’s the same guy. Now he is just another mindless Onecoin drone, blindly following/duplicating his upline crap.
Ruja is postponing her scheduled webinar 14.06. “Ask Dr.Ruja” till July Lol.
To many questions so she needs assistans…

@MOI – so rather than choose some of the major issues and concerns and do a 2-part Q&A, she’s pushing it back like she had everything else. Swell.
Hopefully within another month questions such as, why are Tom McMurrain and Kari Wahlroos sitting incarcerated? Why has Dubai now also issued you a cease and desist? Why have 3 more countries named Onecoin? …etc (one can hope for such developments a month from now; and they certainly wouldn’t be surprising at this point).
Didn’t know Ruja was such a gambler! Or maybe she herself will do a runner!?!
So he is still around?
@Tim: absolutely agree. faking out.
By the way who is Aleksi Heinonen attending at todays Web with Juha & Co?He joins in from the start talking about blockchains and whitepaper…….
youtu.be/Vb-y4aYK9h4
@MOI – Aleksi Heinonen is a Onecoin Leader from Finland who joined in 2015 and has (had?) phone numbers on his business cards for both Finland and India. He has spoken at various events over the past 2 years.
Other than having promoted the Onecoin scam for some time, he does not appear to have any credibility attached to real cryptocurrency or blockchain (no one in OneCULT leadership does).
Here’s am image of him: thaimaansuomalainen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Onecoin-2.jpg
His name also comes up in Ari Widell’s blog from that region, which Has also been following the Onecoin scam for a long time: kusetukset.blogspot.com/2016/03/onecoin-sulki-kolikkoporssin-kahdeksi.html?m=1
He can also be found mentioned and commenting on am early 2016 Onecoin blog by renowned computer scientist from Finland, Peteri Jarvinen, a long time critic of Onecoin economics and lack of cryptography; and is mentioned in popular Finnish Forum MuroBBS, whose Onecoin bulletin Had been viewed over 3 million times.
I guess Ruja has difficulty answering the question “Where did Pablo go?”.
Unlike a legitimate business there is no official word on his absence. Did they kill him or what?
Interesting hypothesis an IMA introduced today in Onecoin Victim Support Group. This is in regards to Ruja’s assertion at Macau Event that “everyone should move as many coins as they can to OFC’s”:
“They collecting *dead* onecoins without Blockchain to remove any trace of the scam!”
The following is a recent message that went out potentially suggesting a push in the direction of this scheme:
The hypothesis continues that perhaps: a “NEW and BETTER” IMA wallet is being set up (slight moderating to UX in back office) and everyone needs to move their coins to that wallet by ____ date and you’ll get a (10%?) coin bonus… (And) all coins not moved by____ date Will be automatically transferred …WHOOPS!
…there was an error/ old wallet got hacked, (something or Other) …but luckily your coins are safe in the New wallet …BUT UNFORTUNATELY …BLOCKCHAIN ISSUE/ HACK PREVENTS SETTING HISTORY…
this it’s hypothesis though.
(Cont. from above) – New comment:
“U wait she will soon announce like the bank does when it changes or prints a new note
That if by this date u don’t return old note to bank it will be invalid
When that announcement comes none will have the choice”
Ari Widell AKA: Scam Detector has had 66 visits from Bulgaria/ Onecoin super tickets. Interesting observations and a few questions for those monitoring him:
kusetukset.blogspot.com/2017/06/onecoin-greetings-to-sofia-office.html?m=1
Timothy:
I don’t believe in the hypothesis of onecoin encouraging people to move their coins voluntarily to a separate account. Since the company controls the whole information system anyway they can do that at any time, even without telling anybody; they can call that an internal system upgrade, or whatever they want.
After all onecoin’s notion of what a blockchain is is fluid enough to allow migration to a different software infrastructure without necessarily acknowledging the change as a switch to a “new blockchain” or “new wallet”.
Of course we all know that the whole idea of transferring data over to a new system while switching off the old one while claiming that the history is somehow “unchangeable” is a joke to anybody competent enough, but we are off-target for onecoin.
They are interested in people confusing a web interface with the system actually storing their data, and for that kind of public anything not showing up on the web page just doesn’t exist.
They can show less information on the web interface, change the color theme and call it “the new look, even easier than before”. Who cares.
When the police finally arrives they won’t have any excuses anyway, and they don’t need anything subtle; if they wanted to delete proofs they could just break every hard disk with a hammer before running.
We’re giving those idiots too much credit. They’ve never done anything technically subtle.
Fair enough 🙂
The migration is a ploy, but also a “purity test”. True believers will move, and the doubters will be hesitant.
Also keep in mind that moving the coins into shares means a further commitment to the cause. And shares… how do you trade shares any way?
Many of these schemes have purity tests when they run into trouble to weed out the doubters so the die-hards can refill their ranks with new sheeple recruits.
Often this was done with a KYC (know-your-customer) by requiring uploads of IDs which would scare off quite a few people, but OneWhatever had already done this.
most of us on this thread might therefore be considered impure -and it is ok!!
RTLZ is a renowned Dutch business and stockmarket related tv programme, radio and website and have recently published a a Onecoin related article.
rtlz.nl/tech/piramidespel-vermomt-zich-als-hippe-cryptocurrency
It basically describes Onecoin in a nutshell, the running investigations and a small interview with Onecult member Natalie ter Haar, sho still believes in the tooth-fairy.
Just run it through translate. If any clarification is needed, just ask.
Most interesting thing is the last line which states that a member of Dutch parliament asked questions to the minister of Finance and the minister of Safety and Justice about Onecoin. But the goverment is demissionary at the moment so it might not be picked up at full speed.
I’ll keep you updated if anything comes from this.
Great article on the DealShitter/ Shaky Dealer EXPO in Romania, out of Serbia:

Onecoin scammers now claiming Vietnam is first govt to accept Onecoin. Lol!
Multiple sources, but here’s a tweet with some BS Document attached: twitter.com/OneCointycoon/status/876587510620672000
Someone must’ve forgotten that they’re actually under criminal investigation there too!

The other ridiculously absurd claim going around now is that they’re the *official cryptocurrency of the Tokyo Olympics! SMH!!! (*citation needed)
I read Pierre Arens made this claim onstage at the recent Tokyo event.
I’d bet eleventy billion OneCoins the IOC has never even heard of OneLife.
Thanks Tim. Google Translate sure knows to butcher articles and their meaning.
The last line should be translated to something like this: “Onecoin does not officially operate in Bulgaria. Think very well of the reasons why.”
Pierre “our blockchain is fast and our blockchain is accurate” Arens on stage in Tokyo:
youtu.be/JxtqciSbR9M?t=425
Dream on Pierre 😀
The article on the OneCoin Blockchain Simulator is finished: onecoinscam.info/blockchain-simulator/
So how did Pierre spouting crap in Japan turn into “OneCoin is the official currency of the Tokyo olympics?”
Bloody hell these OneCoin scammers tell some tall porky pies.
Seems that construction on Crimea property (ironic name), once owned by One Network Services (and with ownership transferred from Veska Ignatov to new 26 year old CEO) proceeds forth now.
To me this suggests a successful money laundering task, but perhaps someone else can clarify any implication. Meanwhile, Onecoin victims remain in the dark about the many seemingly shady goings-on regarding the most non-transparent company ever.

And while we know that Pablo Munoz is “safe” and nothing more, even top OneLie leaders seem to STILL be totally clueless about where their (former) CEO is or what, if any, role he is now playing (presumably none).
SEE youtu.be/SO7UZbY6i6k
Nice response by (black?) Diamond Leader, Mohammad Zafar to question about OneLife CEO Pablo Munoz at 1:04:45
Interesting to see what will happen on the 25th in Dehli where Wahlroos is heading.
from his fb:
..lol. Will he get in, at all?
gerlach has an article up on the subject.
read: gerlachreport.com/news/onecoin-wahlroos-steht-in-indien-vor-verhaftung
Heres a golden opportunity for coiners to increase their education levels… loll.
mailchi.mp/39d4dbea248e/jxkey6m9c9-700933?e=a0e0b3336a
Legitimate businesses don’t have to hold “secret meetings” because they’re worried employees will be arrested by authorities.
For the moment, I treat Gerlach Report as just sensationalist quasi-news reporting. Always I crumb of truth, at least, but nothing to really sink your teeth into …yet(?)
IMO Gerlach’s main flaw is that it really doesn’t cite evidentiary substance to back up some of its claims – which is obviously problematic.
For instance, prior to the Kari Wahlroos piece, claims are made in another article about a faux charity project of the Steinkellers in Nepal.
No links are given to support the claims that Steinkellers claim to have funded 5 projects totaling ~$5,000 of funding (despite that this would be only a chip off Gibraltar in scale).
Real reporters, including The Atlantic, The Hindu Times, Kathemerini (Greece), Oz, Air Widell, and many others covering this case (I’d like to consider myself included), painstakingly at times, exert the effort to provide original or substantive SOURCE information for basing the claims of our narrative or assertions.
While I HOPE that Gerlach is on point, in that Wahlroos identity, information and background has navigated its way far enough through some regulatory alert protocols and had ample enough distribution and authority behind it to accomplish his apprehension, should he attempt to traverse his way into the country India), I’m concerned about him actually “pulling it off,” unmolested, and gloating about it on social media.
In summary, I’m really not sure what to make of Gerlach Report. Are these just anarchist and anonymous journalists who are using FUD to spread further FUD, as a strategy? Or do they possess real live data for which they are reporting?
Forgive me if the Wahlroos headline is mistranslated, but if I’m reading it correctly, Gerlach claims, as a fact, that Wahlroos will be arrested in India if he follows through.
Am I missing something?
@TIM
You are not missing anything at all. As said before always read gerlach with a grain of salt…
I had to post this article because its so spectacular. one can always hope they have provided indian authorities with info about Kari W.
He is scheduled for Dehli in July as well. The Steinkeller art. is up but its only words no real info…
Guess im getting sick and tired of all this shit.
strange bravado on the part of wahlroos and zafar in coming to india at a time when the mumbai EOW has set up a task force to investigate onecoin and arrest it’s promoters.
is uncontrollable greed making them blind to the unbelievable risk they are taking?
they’ll be thrown in a police jeep and deposited in a bed less cockroach infested jail cell before they can say rujamama!
really, they’re going to keep the venue ‘secret’?? you think the EOW wont have lookout notices sent out to all international airports in india! dumbf*****.
and that zafar is really looking for double trouble. the traditionally poor relations between india and pakistan are at a specially low point these days. our guys would love to throw some pakistani ass in jail, right now! 🙂
anyways, i have written to the navi mumbai EOW about these two dumbasses who seem to have an inexplicable death wish.
cp.navimumbai(at)mahapolice.gov.in
in case wahlroos and zafar want a preview of life in an indian jail:
youtube.com/watch?v=UvhXGw6S6Ng
except it wont have the fun and games^^ of a bollywood song. it will be very very real! you ready, wahlroos and zafar?! welcome and bring your tashreef [ass/butt/behind] along!
Desperate Times call for Desperate measures for OneCULT (check it the latest):
Note: these are being sold at (removed)
Password: (removed)
These include the so-called Power Pack Combo for €48,780 & The Ultimate Package for €118,030.
The site states that “after you have sent your order you Will receive an email with a proforma invoice and detailed instructions for the bank wire.”
Why is it that even after so much “education,” a majority of OneCULT members still seem to think that bitcoin is a company? What level of education and how much must a victim pay to figure out otherwise? Is that taught at the €118,030 cost level?
By contrast, according to LL.M.Tuition and Financial Aid Repayment at Harvard Law School, “Tuition for the 2017-2018 academic year is $61,650; in addition, health insurance and health services fees, the LL.M activities fee, dental insurance, the cost of housing, food, books and supplies, and personal and travel expenses for a single student come to (at least) $30,800, for a total of $92,450.
But hey, for $30,000 more you get some old plagiarized e-books which unteach you anything you need to know about actual cryptocurrency and blockchain, along worth some videos. Oh, and tokens! Yes. Don’t forget the tokens so you can “mine” coins by pressing one button in your back office!
Anyone speak Vietnamese? Might be a story here but I’m not 100% sure.
Recently OneCoin scammers in Vietnam were claiming the company was licensed to do business in Vietnam through “Trident Crypto Academy”.
Today an article in the Dau Thau claims the Ministry of Planning and Investment are claiming the documents are forged.
For the life of me I haven’t been able to identify the circular, cited as “329/VP-HC”.
Found some documents bearing the same code but nothing dated June 19th.
kari wahlroos already cancelled/postponed his delhi visit on june 16th itself. we missed this comment of his on facebook:
haha tight schedule indeed! he’s merrily hopscotching around the world picking up money wherever he can, but two days in india makes his schedule tight?
say it kari boy. you’re never never ever going to step into india because you Know the EOW will throw your ass in jail. stop making these fake plans of visiting india to keep indian affiliates pumped up. liar liar pants on fire!
btw who’s this kitija??
The document states the company Trident crypto academy needs to provide more details of the company onecoin before they approve the license.
What about the Dau Thau article citing the government warning it’s a forgery?
@anjali
Oohh, what a blamage… lol.
Well see what kari comes up with before the sceduled event in July.
Eventpage for june says India “Sold Out”: onelifeevents.eu/en/
Fake fake all the time.
It is a forgery. Mr Nguyễn Đăng Trương is currently the head of HIMD. The document is signed with his title as assistant director of HIMD.
Thanks for that. So the company document going around is completely fake and has nothing to do with the govt of Vietnam.
Ah silly scammers, will you ever learn?
Yes. It states that government documents does not resemble the company document.

the Indian Authorities really seem to be going for the scammers which is great -Hope Wahlross goes over for his postponed meeting from last weekend.
keep chipping away…
Navi Mumbai Police are taking an extremely proactive approach now to busting ponzi scams with 17 more arrests, including the motivational speaker at the event!
thehindu.com/news/cities/mumbai/police-raid-seminar-in-kalamboli-hotel-bust-ponzi-scam-17-arrested/article19530669.ece
Onecoin mentioned, but this was a New and separate raid. Anyone have a connection with EOW or NM Police who can get written document with Ignatova and Dilkinska names on the other Charge sheet??
JeeoIndia? Never heard of it.
@Oz
Exactly. And with only 1,200 estimated members, why would you?
The point is that Indian Authorities, particularly in Navi Mumbai, seem to be cracking the whip big time, regardless of “maturity” of the scam. They’re targeting ponzi’s hard.
It will be interesting to see what punishments are handed down to the nearly 50 people who’ve been rounded up between this and the Onecoin busts!
