Ruja Ignatova, the self-styled “CryptoQueen” and founder of the OneCoin crypto project, has been added to the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted fugitives list for her role in allegedly scamming investors out of more than $4bn.

The bureau is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the alleged crypto fraudster, after Ignatova has not been seen in public since 2017.
