CryptoQueen Ruja Ignatova，40 亿美元 OneCoin 骗局的幕后策划者，仍在逃

Ruja Ignota 是保加利亚人，更广为人知的名字是 CryptoQueen，也是价值 40 亿美元的 OneCoin 骗局的创始人，目前仍在逃。

Ruja Ignatova, also known as the “CryptoQueen,” is still wanted by the FBI for her role in the $4 billion OneCoin scam. Despite being charged in absentia by a US District Court in 2017, Ignatova's whereabouts remain unknown.

Ruja Ignatova，也被称为“加密女王”，仍因参与价值 40 亿美元的 OneCoin 骗局而被 FBI 通缉。尽管伊格纳托娃于 2017 年被美国地方法院缺席指控，但她的下落仍然不明。

The FBI is now offering a $5 million reward for any information that can lead to her arrest. Ignatova, a Bulgarian national, is accused of masterminding the OneCoin Ponzi scheme, which defrauded investors around the world.

联邦调查局现悬赏 500 万美元，奖励任何可能导致她被捕的信息。保加利亚国民伊格纳托娃被指控策划维卡币庞氏骗局，该骗局欺骗了世界各地的投资者。

According to the indictment, Ignatova and her co-conspirators promoted OneCoin as a cryptocurrency that would generate massive returns for investors. They also offered other products, such as “educational packages,” to entice investors.

根据起诉书，伊格纳托娃和她的同谋将维卡币推广为一种可以为投资者带来巨额回报的加密货币。他们还提供其他产品，例如“教育套餐”，以吸引投资者。

However, the indictment alleges that OneCoin was not a genuine cryptocurrency and that the company did not operate a blockchain network, as it claimed. Instead, the scheme operated as a pyramid, with existing investors being asked to recruit new ones and the investments from older investors being funneled to the newcomers.

然而，起诉书称 OneCoin 并不是真正的加密货币，并且该公司并未像其声称的那样运营区块链网络。相反，该计划以金字塔形式运作，现有投资者被要求招募新投资者，而老投资者的投资则被输送给新投资者。

After being charged in the US, Ignatova is believed to have traveled from Bulgaria to Athens, Greece, on October 25, 2017. She then went missing, and her last known location was Greece.

伊格纳托娃在美国受到指控后，据信于 2017 年 10 月 25 日从保加利亚前往希腊雅典。随后她失踪，她最后的已知地点是希腊。

Authorities believe that Ignatova may have had plastic surgery or other cosmetic procedures to alter her appearance and evade attention. She is also known to have held a German passport, which she may have used to flee from Greece.

当局认为伊格纳托娃可能进行了整容手术或其他整容手术来改变她的外表并逃避关注。据了解，她还持有德国护照，她可能用该护照逃离希腊。

Due to Ignatova not being caught yet, Bulgaria has decided to charge her in absentia. The announcement was made in a joint statement by Borislav Sarafov, Bulgaria’s Acting Prosecutor General, and Kenneth Merten, US Ambassador to Bulgaria.

由于伊格纳托娃尚未被捕，保加利亚决定对她进行缺席指控。保加利亚代理总检察长鲍里斯拉夫·萨拉福夫和美国驻保加利亚大使肯尼思·梅尔滕在联合声明中宣布了这一消息。

OneCoin’s co-founder and legal head, Sebastian Greenwood, was arrested in Thailand in 2018 and extradited to the US, where he pleaded guilty to charges related to the scam.

OneCoin 联合创始人兼法律负责人 Sebastian Greenwood 于 2018 年在泰国被捕并被引渡到美国，他在美国承认了与诈骗相关的指控。

Ignatova's boyfriend, Gilbert Armenta, and her brother, Konstantin Ignatov, were also arrested and charged in the US. Armenta pleaded guilty to charges related to the scam, while Konstantin Ignatov is awaiting trial.

伊格纳托娃的男友吉尔伯特·阿门塔和她的兄弟康斯坦丁·伊格纳托夫也在美国被捕并受到指控。阿门塔承认与诈骗相关的指控，而康斯坦丁·伊格纳托夫正在等待审判。
