The well-known Hollywood daily Dadline reports that the television station, New Regency Television International, has bought the screen rights to a podcast about OneCoin. The radio show, "The Missing Crypto Queen," was originally broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the United Kingdom. The eight-part podcast became a hit last year. It was downloaded 3.5 million times in just four months and reached number one on the iTunes charts in the UK. The story explores the details of the scam of Rujia Ignatova, co-founder of the largest financial pyramid OneCoin. As a reminder, Rujia Ignatova created a Ponzi scheme called OneCoin in 2014. Within a few years of operation, she attracted investors from 175 countries and managed to raise a capital of up to $4 billion. The scam was also promoted in Poland. It owes its success mainly to a multi-level referral system and promises of easy, quick profits. Ignatova disappeared in October 2017 and since then the trace of her has disappeared. Ignatova's brother recently pleaded guilty to several fraud charges in a US court, while her US lawyer was found guilty of laundering $400 million raised by OneCoin in the US. OneCoin on cinema screens ? Several companies competed for the rights to screen the podcast, including A24 and 20th Century TV. The winner, New Regency, will produce the adaptation along with podcast co-authors Jamie Bartlett and Georgia Catt. The project will most likely be a drama with multiple episodes. Ed Rubin, head of television at New Regency, said: "The Missing Crypto Queen makes for compulsive listening as each week's extraordinary details play out like the most gripping drama. Jamie and Georgia have also brilliantly captured the story of the dark side of rapid technological change and how people can be fooled on a massive scale - a warning that needs to be brought into the mainstream consciousness. It's a world-traveling story of corruption, danger and deception - complete with twists and turns, a complex mystery and the global reach of a scandal we're excited to bring to life on screen " Suspicious projects the bane of the world's legitimate cryptocurrencies Unfortunately, just like in the traditional financial system, there are scams in the cryptocurrency ecosystem as well. Recently, red lights have come on for several new projects. Most notably Hex (HEX), an altcoin that promises investors huge returns. In January, a single HEX token was worth less than a single satoshi of Bitcoin, which is quite an achievement worth noting. Richard Heart, the creator of Hex, denies accusations that the project is in any way a scam. Unlike Hex, OneCoin was never a cryptocurrency because its management maintained full control over the market. It has never proven the necessary market indicators, such as capitalization.
