Following detainment after his arrest in California, OneCoin’s Konstantin Ignatov has been transferred to New York.
Ignatov is at present an inmate on the Metropolitan Correctional Heart.
Along with quelling OneCoin social media nonsense that the DOJ had dropped its case (Konstantin was off the radar for just a few days whereas he was being transferred), the brand new New York case docket has an attention-grabbing March sixth entry:
This isn’t confirmed however I’m 99.9% certain “sealed defendant 1” is Sebastian Greenwood.
If the whole lot surrounding Greenwood’s arrest and ongoing detainment is sealed, it will actually clarify why he’s disappeared right into a black gap since his extradition from Thailand.
In associated information OneCoin has put up a weird press-release earlier right this moment, through which they equate reporting of Konstantin Ignatov’s arrest and wire fraud cost to a “witch hunt”.
Centuries in the past the notion of justice was very completely different from the best way it’s these days.
It was generally taken to excessive limits – folks had been typically beheaded, burned on the stake, disembodied, hung or shot, even with out a trial.
There have been instances, again within the day, when accusations had been based mostly solely on claims or assumptions.
The presumption of guilt, that means one is taken into account responsible except confirmed harmless.
Sadly, most people, sentenced to loss of life, had been by no means given the possibility to show their innocence
OneCoin claims journalists reporting on Ignatov’s arrest are publishing “faux information”, along with committing defamation and “slender”.
Whereas it’s true that again within the day folks had been wrongfully executed on suspicion of witchcraft… what that has to do with OneCoin is unclear.
Whereas suspected witches had been typically executed with out proof, OneCoin is a blatant Ponzi scheme we’ve been masking since late 2014.
Asserting that there is no such thing as a proof of fraud associated to OneCoin is disingenuous.
Even if you wish to imagine utilizing newly invested funds to pay present buyers by an inside change isn’t Ponzi fraud, or that paying affiliate buyers to recruit new buyers with out retail isn’t pyramid fraud; the very fact of the matter is Konstantin Ignatov was arrested and charged based mostly on collected proof and an investigation stretching again to at the very least 2017.
OneCoin can fake they aren’t a Ponzi scheme and that Ignatov didn’t commit wire fraud, however everyone knows how that is going to play out.
Had OneCoin’s enterprise mannequin been a secret and all of this saved below wraps until Ignatov’s arrest, certain. Go nuts.
Because it stands although, pretending there’s no proof behind Ignatov’s arrest is blatant dishonesty.
Maybe a trivial level to make when the offending occasion has fraudulently obtained billions from buyers with out batting a watch, however one I felt it vital to make nonetheless.
