In 2017, Dr. Ruja Ignatova boarded a plane in Bulgaria and vanished.

She wasn’t just any fugitive—she was the mastermind behind OneCoin, a fake cryptocurrency that scammed investors out of $5 billion. When the authorities closed in, she disappeared without a trace.

But here’s where things turn deadly.

Since Ruja’s disappearance, people connected to her have been turning up dead.

A former police officer in Bulgaria was executed outside his home. The man suspected of ordering that hit? Shot dead, execution-style, in Cape Town.

No suspects. No arrests. Just bodies piling up.

So, where is Ruja? Did she escape? Is she ordering these assassinations from the shadows?

Or did she become the final victim of her own billion-dollar scam?
