What Is the OneCoin Lawsuit About?

Between 2014 and 2019, Ruja Ignatova and Karl Sebastian Greenwood, co-founders of OneCoin Ltd., orchestrated a large international cryptocurrency investment scheme that defrauded investors around the globe. OneCoin, headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, marketed and sold a fraudulent cryptocurrency through a global multi-level marketing (MLM) network.

In reality, OneCoin had no verifiable blockchain, no legitimate value, and its price was manipulated internally. Ignatova promoted the token as a “Bitcoin killer” and a vehicle for financial revolution — promises that never materialized. As a result of misrepresentations made about OneCoin, victims invested over $4 billion worldwide in the fraudulent cryptocurrency.

The Department of Justice filed a number of OneCoin-related prosecutions in the Southern District of New York. Several key figures involved in the scheme have been sentenced, and the DOJ pursued criminal forfeiture of property derived from the proceeds of the fraud scheme, making more than $40 million in forfeited assets available for victim compensation.

Who Is Eligible to File a Claim?

Individuals and entities are eligible for remission if they purchased OneCoin cryptocurrency between 2014 and 2019 and experienced a net loss after accounting for any withdrawals, commissions, insurance claims, or other recoveries.

• You may qualify if you purchased OneCoin at any point between 2014 and 2019.
• You may qualify if your total purchases exceed any amounts you recovered through sales, commissions, or other means (i.e., you have a net loss).
• You may qualify if you are located outside the United States — victims do not need to be U.S. citizens or residents, and individuals from any country may file a petition.
• You may qualify if you are filing on behalf of another victim — representatives may file a petition on behalf of a petitioner and must provide appropriate proof of authorization.
• You may qualify if you no longer have complete documentation, as partial records (emails, screenshots, bank statements) are acceptable.

⚠️ Important Warning: Neither the remission administrator nor the Department of Justice will ask for any payment to participate in this remission process. Be cautious of any individual or organization claiming to represent the remission administrator or the federal government.

How Much Can You Receive?

There is more than $40 million in forfeited assets available for victim compensation. The amount each eligible petitioner receives depends on their documented net losses from purchasing OneCoin cryptocurrency. The remission administrator will distribute payments on a pro-rata basis, meaning each petitioner receives a proportion of the available funds based on documented losses relative to the total losses of all approved petitioners, after deductions for costs associated with administering the remission process.

Here is how your loss amount is calculated:

• The remission administrator calculates losses as the total amount spent on OneCoin (in U.S. dollars) minus any amounts recovered from sales, commissions, insurance claims, or other sources.
• If the claimant made purchases in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the remission administrator will convert the loss using the exchange rate on the date of purchase.

Key caveat: Filing a petition for remission does not guarantee payment. The remission administrator and the Department of Justice will review all petitions and only approve those meeting the eligibility criteria. Because payments are pro-rata, the exact per-person amount cannot be determined until all petitions are reviewed and totaled.

Key Case Outcomes: Where Does the Case Stand?

OneCoin co-founder Karl Sebastian Greenwood pleaded guilty in December 2022 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison and ordered to pay $300 million in penalties.

OneCoin’s former head of legal and compliance, Irina Dilkinska, was also sentenced to four years in prison in April 2024 and ordered to forfeit $111.44 million after pleading guilty to related charges.

Ruja Ignatova remains at large and is currently on the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted list. Authorities believe she may have used plastic surgery or other means to alter her appearance to evade capture. The FBI is actively seeking information about her whereabouts, and tips can be submitted at tips.fbi.gov or by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer to file a petition?

 No. Filing a petition does not require an attorney. The process is designed so that any victim, anywhere in the world, can file directly through the official website at onecoinremission.com or by mail.

Is this remission process legitimate?

 Yes. The DOJ officially announced the compensation process on April 13, 2026, as part of its Asset Forfeiture Program, with Kroll Settlement Administration LLC serving as the remission administrator. Always access the claim form exclusively through onecoinremission.com — never through third-party links.

When will I receive my payment? 

No specific payout date has been announced. The DOJ must first review all petitions submitted by June 30, 2026, verify eligibility, calculate pro-rata shares, and process disbursements. Check onecoinremission.com for updates after the deadline passes.

What if I missed the claim deadline? 

If you do not file a petition by June 30, 2026, you will likely forfeit your right to compensation from this remission fund. No extensions have been announced. File as early as possible to avoid technical issues near the deadline.

Will this remission payment affect my taxes? 

Potentially yes. Remission payments received as restitution for investment losses may have tax implications depending on your country of residence and prior tax treatment of your losses. Consult a qualified tax professional in your jurisdiction before filing your taxes after receiving payment.

Do I need to be a U.S. citizen to file? 

No. Victims do not need to be U.S. citizens or residents — individuals from any country may file a petition. This is a global remission process open to all OneCoin victims worldwide.

What if I don’t have all my purchase records? 

You should still file. Submit whatever documentation you have. Acceptable documentation includes emails from OneCoin, order confirmations, screenshots of account balances, and bank statements. The remission administrator may be able to verify your claim through other means.

Can someone scam me while I’m trying to file?

 Yes — and this is a real risk. The DOJ has explicitly warned that neither the remission administrator nor the DOJ will ask for any payment to participate in this remission process. Never pay anyone to help you file. All legitimate communications come directly from Kroll or the DOJ.
