Fugitive: The Mystery of the Crypto Queen

Sky Post Production were delighted to be asked by Dare Pictures and Tondowski Films to provide offline, full post and graphics for a story described by The Times as ‘one of the biggest scams in history’. 

Fugitive: The Mystery Of The Crypto Queen is a Channel 4 production, and tells the story of Ruja Ignatova, the Bulgaria-born German entrepreneur and creator of the pseudo cryptocurrency OneCoin. Ruja disappeared in 2017 along with billions of dollars of investors’ money, catapulting her to the top of the FBI’s most wanted list. When OneCoin first started making headlines, thousands of individuals were hooked by the promise of quick and easy money. 

For the few at the top of what amounted to an enormous Ponzi scheme, that may well have been true…but most lost everything. Ultimately, it's a tale of greed and those who take advantage of the gullible or desperate. But what happened to Ignatova? Has she changed her appearance or is she hiding in plain sight? Is she still at large? Is she still alive? The story of Sky Post’s contribution is here.
