It was supposed to be so beautiful! Quick and spectacular return on investment, equally quick wealth and accelerated retirement. Unfortunately, the OneCoin project ends in disgrace, and its founders face prison sentences... In March of this year, a US prosecutor issued an arrest warrant for the project's founders. Konstantin Ignatov and his sister Ruja Ignatova, were finally arrested on March 6, 2019 in Los Angeles. The siblings were charged with "securities fraud and money laundering." Class action lawsuit That's not all, however. Now it appears that the project's investors are taking matters into their own hands. Christine Grablis, who invested in OneCoins, is now suing their issuers. She considers the pseudo-cryptocurrency investment system a fraud. She is also demanding compensation. At the same time, she is looking for other wronged parties, as she wants to organize a class action lawsuit against the creators of OneCoin. The entities and individuals being sued by the former investor are to be OneCoin Ltd, as well as Ruja Ignatova, Konstantin Ignatov, Sebastian Greenwood, Mark Scott, and possible other potential parties. Greenwood is the co-founder and "face" of OneCoin. Scott, in turn, is a licensed attorney who is accused of using his legal expertise to help the company with money laundering issues through various hedge funds. Silver Miller, the law firm that will represent cryptocurrency investors, has already issued a press release instructing victims on how they can participate in class action lawsuits. The project that was supposed to change the world or the scam of the decade? OneCoin was created in 2014. It had its headquarters in Sofia and from the beginning it functioned as a marketing network (MLM). The project's meetings were more like brainwashing than substantive debates. Konstantin, once asked when you can withdraw funds from the project, replied: "If you are here to withdraw money, leave this room now because you don't understand what this project is." Beware of pyramid schemes! The project was warned against in Poland by, among others, the Polish Bitcoin Association, which reported its concerns to the Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobra himself. In a similar vein, the MP's office of Mirosław Suchoń (Nowoczesna) wrote its MP's interpellation. DasCoin, the case of which is now being investigated by Polish services, was also highly controversial. MP Mirosława Nykiel (Civic Platform) wrote an interpellation about the latter project, while the Trading Jam foundation prepared a report to the prosecutor's office.
