Moreover, Ignatov appeared publicly in the trial of the United States v. Mark S. Scott and the Government pleads to uncover certain documents as of the Government’s letter dated July 18, 2019; the October 4, 2019 change of plea transcript; the October 8, 2019 sealing order; and the Sealed Superseding Information; the waiver of Indictment.
On the other hand, the defense has agreed with this appeal.
OneCoin claimed to own a blockchain
Ignatov along with his sister Ruja Ignatova and others made representations about OneCoin that made the victims invest billions of dollars worldwide in the fake cryptocurrency.
The company claimed to have more than 3 million members across the globe including the victims working within the Southern District of New York. Also, it has claimed to own a blockchain or a digital ledger that identifies OneCoin and records old transactions.
However, the investigation showed that OneCoin lacks public and provable blockchain.
