Ruja Ignatova, the person responsible for one of the biggest scams in the history of cryptocurrencies may have changed gender to escape authorities, according to researchers. Since the collapse of the pyramid scheme OneCoin, the leader of the entire scheme is on the run and is wanted by the police in different countries, but so far her whereabouts are a great mystery.
In an update to the searches, researchers released a composite sketch of Ignatova that includes male gender and attributes. The new curated sketch indicates that search teams may be considering the possibility that Ignatova may have had sex reassignment surgery, perhaps to avoid detection by police.
The curated sketch has been released by Tradingpedia, which is part of the team of private investigators investigating the One Coin case.
The team leading the investigation of the case believes that the police have not been able to find Ruja so far because she has undergone sex reassignment surgery as speculated by Brian MacCollanalyst of the company.
The composite sketch was created by a criminal artist, based on Ruja’s most recent photographs and an investigation into the possibilities of aging and the changes that can be made through plastic surgery.
“We entrusted a crime artist with the task of exploring the possibilities of what Ruja Ignatova might look like today, based on the most recent photos available before her disappearance in 2017. We asked them to add five years of aging and also looking at the options of gaining or losing weight, undergoing cosmetic procedures and even going to the extreme of changing gender,” McColl said in an interview.
Detectives are looking for Ruja Ignatova
The fact is, Ignatova’s sex change has not been confirmed, so researchers are just speculating how far she would go to escape (successfully) for so long.
Therefore, they are also looking for Ruja with female features, again extrapolating possible changes.
Ruja, however she is, remains at large and was last seen boarding a flight from Bulgaria to Greece in 2017. The flight was from Sofia to Athens and she has been missing ever since, with no sign of being taken by anyone else. is seen.
Other Onecoin leaders, such as Ruja’s own brother, have already been arrested by the authorities.
the self-proclaimed crypto queen is one of the most efficient fugitives of the past decade and remains free from the clutches of the authorities for now.
