OneCoin's History of Fraud and Illicit Activity

OneCoin 的欺诈和非法活动历史

OneCoin, founded in 2014 by Karl Sebastian Greenwood and Ruja Ignatova, has a long history of fraudulent practices and illegal activities. Greenwood was arrested in Thailand in 2018 on charges of fraud and money laundering and later extradited to the United States. Last year, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $300 million.

OneCoin 由 Karl Sebastian Greenwood 和 Ruja Ignatova 于 2014 年创立，有着悠久的欺诈行为和非法活动历史。格林伍德于 2018 年因欺诈和洗钱罪名在泰国被捕，后来被引渡到美国。去年，他被判处20年监禁并罚款3亿美元。

Ignatova, known as the "Crypto Queen," has also been charged with fraud and money laundering but has remained at large since 2017 when she reportedly fled to Greece. In June 2022, she was added to the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List.

被称为“加密货币女王”的伊格纳托娃也被指控犯有欺诈和洗钱罪，但自 2017 年据报道逃往希腊以来一直在逃。 2022年6月，她被列入联邦调查局十大通缉名单。

Prosecutors allege that OneCoin used a global multi-level marketing network to promote its cryptocurrency, which contributed to its rapid growth. However, the cryptocurrency itself was allegedly worthless, and Greenwood and Ignatova are accused of misleading investors by comparing OneCoin to Bitcoin and other established cryptocurrencies.

检察官指控维卡币利用全球多层次营销网络来推广其加密货币，从而促进了其快速增长。然而，据称这种加密货币本身毫无价值，格林伍德和伊格纳托娃被指控通过将维卡币与比特币和其他成熟的加密货币进行比较来误导投资者。

In recent months, other individuals involved in OneCoin have faced legal consequences. Irina Dilkinska, the former head of legal and compliance for the project, was sentenced to four years in prison for her role in the scheme.

近几个月来，其他参与维卡币的个人也面临着法律后果。该项目前法律与合规负责人伊琳娜·迪尔金斯卡 (Irina Dilkinska) 因其参与该计划而被判处四年监禁。

The arrest of William Morro is another significant step in the ongoing effort to hold those responsible for the OneCoin fraud accountable and recover lost funds for victims.

威廉·莫罗的被捕是追究维卡币欺诈责任人和为受害者追回损失资金的持续努力的又一重要步骤。
