As Above So Below
Why I believe Cryptoqueen fraudster who vanished with $4billion is hiding on a luxury yacht in the Mediterranean: Investigator who spent years hunting Bulgarian Ruja Ignatova reveals his theory as she becomes only woman on FBI's most wanted list
While rumours abound, the truth is that, since that October morning five years ago, no one has known for sure where Ignatova has been - or even whether she is still alive. However, following my four-year international investigation with BBC producer Georgia Catt, the story of what happened to the missing Cryptoqueen can be pieced together for the first time. Based on hundreds of sources, including insiders in the world of luxury yachts and penthouses that Ignatova inhabited, my theory is that she had been living in her native Bulgaria, then later Dubai, where she has been linked to a multi-million-pound mansion in a high-security complex. And when the Gulf state, at first a welcoming haven, became too hot to handle, I believe Ignatova set off again - for international waters.
My theory is that she is living the high life on board a private superyacht bobbing around in the Mediterranean. NOT that you would recognise her from the infamous photo in the Bulgarian edition of Forbes magazine that lent her credibility as she lured in victims - including many in Britain - to OneCoin, billing it as a more user-friendly, and far more lucrative, alternative to Bitcoin. For Ignatova, 42, is believed to have undergone plastic surgery to alter her appearance, as well as dyeing her dark hair blonde and losing weight.
