SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 27 -- For scam crypto
currency OneCoin, Sebastian
Greenwood who co-founded the
company with Ruja Ignatova was
sentenced to 20 years in
prison by U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Edgardo Ramos
on September 12, 2023. Inner
City Press was there and live
tweeted, thread here
On January 25,
Mark Scott was sentenced to 10
years in prison - but will be
asking for bail pending
appeal. Thread here.
On February 26
for Konstantin Ignatov, with a
90 year guideline, the US
Attorney's Office asked for
time served - with lines
redacted.
On March 5,
Konstantin Ignatov got just
that: time served, with two
years supervised release and a
forfeiture of some $118,000.
On March 20,
counsel for Irina Dilkinska
asked for time served for her,
too - though she did not
cooperate. She was allowed to
pled to two counts each with a
five year maximum. The first
letter, from Vasil Mutafchief,
says "I firmly believe in
Irina's innocence and the need
for a thorough reevaluation of
the evidence presented at her
trial." But she had no trial:
she pled guilty. Letter on

On March 27, the
US wrote in but not with any
number, only for a sentence
below the guidelines (which
they put at 10 years) but with
"a substantial period of
imprisonment." The US also
writes that "Dilkinska told
Ignatov that Aamer Abdulaziz,
who was one of the main money
launderers for Ruja, stole at
least 100 million Euros that
were proceeds from the OneCoin
Fraud Scheme." Why hasn't he
been prosecuted or thought?
