Each count carries a maximum potential sentence of 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Dilkinska allegedly aided in laundering over $400 million of OneCoin\u2019s proceeds, and upon hearing of a co-conspirator\u2019s arrest destroyed incriminating evidence and sent incriminating messages.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Attorney Damian Williams pointed out the irony in Dilikinska\u2019s job title given the nature of OneCoin, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIrina Dilkinska, the supposed Head of Legal and Compliance for the OneCoin cryptocurrency pyramid scheme, accomplished the exact opposite of her job title and allegedly enabled OneCoin to launder millions of dollars of illegal proceeds through shell companies.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The announcement said Dilkinska was extradited from Bulgaria on March 20 and was set to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn the following day.<\/p>\n<p>OneCoin was founded in 2014 by \u201ccryptoqueen\u201d Ruja Ignatova and Karl Sebastian Greenwood, with the latter facing up to 60 years in prison after\u00a0pleading guilty in December to multiple charges.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <\/strong><strong>DOJ and SEC to probe SVB collapse and insider stock sales: Report<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ignatova, however, has managed to evade law enforcement agencies, going missing in October 2017 after a flight to Greece just 15 days after a federal warrant was issued for her arrest.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2022, Ignatova was added to the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s Top Ten Most Wanted List, and a $100,000 reward is offered for information leading to her arrest.<\/p>\n<p>OneCoin was exposed as a scam back in 2015 but managed to generate over $4.3 billion in revenue, with profits of nearly $3 billion between Q4 2014 and Q4 2016 alone.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <\/strong><strong>Best and worst countries for crypto taxes \u2014 plus crypto tax tips<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/onecoin-head-of-compliance-facing-40-year-sentence-after-us-extradition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States federal prosecutors have charged a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":172817,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
