DOJ Opens $40 Million OneCoin Victim Claims After $4 Billion Global Crypto Fraud

Victims who bought OneCoin between 2014 and 2019 can seek compensation from forfeited proceeds, but filing a petition does not guarantee payment.

  • On Monday, the United States Department of Justice announced a petition for remission process to compensate victims of the OneCoin investment scheme, with investors who suffered net losses between 2014 and 2019 potentially eligible for forfeited assets.
  • Between 2014 and 2019, Ruja Ignatova and Karl Sebastian Greenwood, co-founders of OneCoin Ltd., orchestrated an international cryptocurrency scheme, prompting prosecutions by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
  • To participate, victims must submit a Petition Form with documentation supporting claimed losses; neither the Department of Justice nor the Remission Administrator charges fees to file, and victims do not need an attorney.
  • Victims must submit a Petition Form by June 30, 2026, though the Department of Justice notes that submission of a petition does not guarantee payment.
  • Information about the OneCoin Cryptocurrency Remission Program is available through the Kroll Settlement Administration, and those who do not wish to participate need take no action.
