Data uncovered by Bulgarian investigative new outlet Bird.com, the Bureau for Investigative Reporting and Data, suggests that notorious OneCoin crypto scammer Ruja Ignatova, the Cryptoqueen, had been murdered in Greece in November 2018, on a yacht. The reports points to one Christoforos ‘Taki’ Amanatidis as the culprit, who allegedly sliced the body into small pieces and threw it in the Ionian sea. All this was first revealed in a drunken bout by the brother-in-law of Taki, one Georgi Georgiev Vasilev.
All the documents quoted by Bird.com had been retrieved from Lyubomir Ivanov, a high ranking Bulgarian cop that was murdered last March (2022). However, the prosecutor’s office will not launch an investigation into this because it does not consider the documents to fall into the Criminal Procedure Code.
This information uncovers itself a couple of months after reports claim that Ignatov resurfaced, briefly, in a London high-end property listing. The shell company that purchased the property in one of London’s most prestigious boroughs Kensington is reportedly owned by the cryptoqueen.
Ignatova and Sebastian Greenwood opened the doors of OnceCoin to the public in Sofia in 2014. As a supposed killer of Bitcoin, OneCoin was marketed through a global pyramid scheme, resulting in countless participants form over 175 countries, generating some $4 billion in revenue between 2014 and 2016, before the whole project was revealed to be one massive scam.
