Missing Cryptoqueen: What happened to the world’s most wanted woman?
Ruja Ignatova persuaded millions to join her financial revolution. Then she disappeared.
Is she dead or alive? Ruja Ignatova launched a fake cryptocurrency that conned investors out of more than $4 billion. Then, with the police on her trail, she vanished. A years-long investigation has led ±«Óătv journalists down a rabbit hole of scams, spies and organised crime – including the new allegation that Ignatova may have been murdered by the suspected king of the Bulgarian underworld. But what is fact and what is rumour?
Katya Adler is joined by Rob Byrne from the ±«Óătv podcast “The Missing Cryptoqueen”, and Storm Theunissen from ±«Óătv Eye Investigations, who directed the Panorama film “The Missing Cryptoqueen: Dead or Alive?”
