The Missing Cryptoqueen: Dead or Alive?

Panorama investigates what happened to Ruja Ignatova, dubbed the 'Missing Cryptoqueen' and accused of defrauding investors to the tune of USD4.5 billion before she vanished.

Ruja Ignatova, the flamboyant founder of fake cryptocurrency OneCoin, is the world's most wanted woman. Dubbed the 'Missing Cryptoqueen', she's on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list after defrauding investors of USD4.5 billion and then vanishing.

Panorama investigates her close ties to a suspected Bulgarian organised crime boss and allegations that she was brutally murdered. The programme has exclusive access to the US special agent in charged of tracking Ignatova down and follows a brave Bulgarian journalist who has faced death treats, trying to get to the truth.

Did the 'Missing Cryptoqueen' run with the money, or was she killed by the very people that were supposed to protect her?
