Devil's Coin: My Battle to Take Down the Notorious OneCoin Cryptoqueen

Product Information

I was very intrigued as to Jen’s candid backstory, since I was born the same year and understood the social economy and the typical 1970’s lifestyle during that time, especially for a coal miner’s daughter, as I too grew up in a coal mining town. Corrupt and incompetent law enforcement and judicial systems ensured that the perpetrators were never found or punished until the young J.

The victims definitely demonstrate their strengths and determination to expose and dismantle fraudulent financial schemes.McAdam promoted the investment opportunity to friends and strangers online, until she started asking questions about the company’s operations when her contacts there started nudging her into ever more elaborate investment “packages” and she ultimately realized she’d never get her money back. Onecoin flew under my radar and I was just shocked to learn about the financial raping and pillaging done to innocent people all over the world.

This started off as such a heartbreaking, shocking, emotional, and sad story with how she was treated by her family and partners. Ruja Ignatova, [McAdam] didn’t realize she was giving her money to one of the world’s most sinister scams.Since 2016 she has worked full-time, through her online Victims' Support Group, to fight for retribution for the OneCoin fraud and to see the perpetrators brought to justice. I for one, truly hope she succeeds and that no one else goes through the ordeals Jennifer and her friend did.

In my opinion, this book serves as a reminder because it sheds light on the widespread financial fraud in the cryptocurrency sphere, as well as the need for stricter regulations and accountability in the industry. The taverna is the only place that Kostas and Defne can meet in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic and chilli peppers, creeping honeysuckle, and in the centre, growing through a cavity in the roof, a fig tree. Two “devil coins” that were hidden in Scandinavian churches as part of an elaborate hoax in the 1970s have been discovered in the unlikely setting of Bath Abbey. During that time, enrolled members of the Osage Indian nation were among the wealthiest people per capita in the world.Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Thirteen ‘ritual sites’ were discovered by local residents which precipitated an investigation by police from the Danish mainland. I read Devil's Coin in a day in a half and there were areas I did need to concentrate on more when they went into more detail about one coin and the people who scammed them. Unlike Madoff or Enron, who relieved the world's wealthiest investors of their cash, the genius of the Onecoin scam was that it targeted the poorest people in the world, the 'unbanked' - people who struggled to get approval for bank accounts, and when they realized they had lost everything, were unlikely to be able to fight back. Some coins may have been minted by Langkow but others are thought to have been created by independent experts who were in on the joke.

Once McAdam turns on OneCoin, the book goes global, but this is where the narrative loses the reader. Coins like those found at Bath Abbey began to be discovered ‘hidden’ in churches and museums across Denmark. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. Listen in as she takes six different people on a career change journey to help them figure out what work they would really love to do and create a plan of how to make that career change happen.This is the almost unbelievable true story behind one of the victims of Dr Ruja Ignatova, the missing cryptoqueen. This vast wealth attracted the attention of unscrupulous whites who found ways to divert it to themselves by marrying Osage women or by having Osage declared legally incompetent so the whites could fleece them through the administration of their estates.
