A fraud victim who lost thousands to the notorious fugitive ‘Cryptoqueen’ has urged other victims to come forward and join her fight for justice.

Hollywood producers are said to be circling, with Glaswegian Jen McAdam even hosting Kate Winslet for tea so the actress could hear more about her amazing resilience in the face of a devastating crypto deception.

‘I felt she would have done an immense job at detailing it all. She is beautiful, she is really beautiful, she came around for tea, high tea’, McAdam said of Winslet on Good Morning Britain earlier.

 McAdam, who suffers from ME, revealed how an initial investment of £9,000 in worthless OneCoin with the inheritance from her father, spiralled as friends and family joined her, with the group eventually sinking £200,000 into the con.

Despite being on the run – or possibly dead – Ruja Ignatova is being pursued by McAdam, who is urging others to join her OneCoin victims lawsuit, after successfully obtaining a global asset freeze against Ignatova earlier this month.

A $5million reward has been offered in the hunt for the world’s most wanted woman, Ruja Ignatova, who scammed investors out of more than $4billion in ‘one of the largest global fraud schemes in history’

She was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list after allegedly defrauding investors worldwide between 2014 and 2018 with her $4 billion cryptocurrency pyramid scheme

The fraudster is now wanted for $5,000,000 by the FBI with investigators believing Dr Ruja, as she styled herself, was tipped off in 2017 after a U.S. District Court in New York issued a warrant for her arrest.

One step ahead, the scammer headed for Greece and disappeared, although her vanishing act has prompted some to wonder if she was bumped off by an organised crime group after she exhausted her usefulness as the face of the $4bn scam. 

But McAdam says the victims now have ‘more of a chance than they have ever had’ at clawing back any money, despite Ignatova’s absence, with the freezing order giving them ‘a chance of claiming what we’ve lost’.

Investors could sign up to buy the currency which would then appear in their account – and because more and more people would join, said Dr Ruja, the value of the currency would go up.

But in 2017, Jen, who at one point had believed her original stake was worth nearly £100,000, realised it was a scam. 

Although she remains on the run, her brother, Konstantin, was arrested in 2019 and plead guilty to multiple felonies for his leadership role in OneCoin. 

She made the dash after setting up recording devices in her American boyfriend’s flat and learning that he was cooperating with the FBI, prosecutors said at the time.

At the beginning of the OneCoin story, early investors were attracted to Ignatova’s presentation as a glamorous Oxford-graduate who had allegedly spent six years with McKinsey before making the leap into the fledgling world of cryptocurrency.

She was confident, well-dressed and assured her supporters her project, OneCoin, was about to become the next big thing.

Within months, millions of people worldwide had bought into the vision, purchasing packages of a new currency online that they believed would one day change the world.
