Three million people hoped to make a quick buck with OneCoin. But instead of investing into a lucrative cryptocurrency they fell for a snowball system invented by Ruja Ignatova. It all fell apart when the so-called “Cryptoqueen” disappeared without a trace. A real-life thriller about a multibillion-dollar scam starring dubious bankers, shady spies, Bulgarian mafiosi and Arab sheiks.
