Show Notes

It would not be hyperbole to describe the OneCoin scam as a 'once in a lifetime' story for a journalist. When Jamie Bartlett started his investigation of it, he began a journey that would lead to the uncovering of a $4 billion Ponzi scheme, a hit BBC podcast, and the titular Missing Cryptoqueen, Dr. Ruja Ignatova, appearing on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list. 

 

In this episode of The Wealthtech Show, Jamie explains what's happened since the last episode of the podcast series while offering his thoughts on where Dr. Ruja might be hiding out. We also take some time to discuss his work on the dark web, and why crypto is unlikely to be the savvy criminal's currency of choice in 2022.
