Why Crypto Queen is most wanted on FBI list? Ruja Ignatova is a Bulgarian businesswoman who gained notoriety for her role in the OneCoin cryptocurrency scam. OneCoin was founded in 2014 and claimed to be a digital currency that would revolutionize the financial industry. Ignatova, who held a Ph.D. in law and was a former McKinsey & Company consultant, was the public face of the company and became known as the "Cryptoqueen" due to her role in promoting the scheme.

OneCoin operated as a multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme, in which members were encouraged to recruit new investors to purchase packages of OneCoin tokens. The company promised high returns on investment and encouraged members to hold onto their tokens, claiming that they would increase in value over time. However, the scheme was not based on a real cryptocurrency and the tokens had no actual value.

In 2016, the company was issued a warning by the Bulgarian Financial Supervision Commission for operating without a license. Ignatova continued to promote OneCoin, claiming that it was being traded on major cryptocurrency exchanges and was on track to become the "Bitcoin killer".

In 2017, the company came under investigation by authorities in several countries, including Italy, Germany, and India. Ignatova was charged with wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering by the US Department of Justice in 2019. She has been on the run ever since, and her current whereabouts are unknown.

The OneCoin scheme is estimated to have defrauded investors out of billions of dollars. The story of Ruja Ignatova and OneCoin is a cautionary tale about the risks of investing in unregulated cryptocurrencies and the importance of doing due diligence before investing in any financial product.
