​US Department of Justice: Bulgarian Woman Faces Charges in Multi-Billion-Dollar "OneCoin" Crypto Scam

A Bulgarian woman has been extradited to the United States for her involvement in the notorious OneCoin crypto scheme.

In a recent press release, the US Department of Justice said it had filed charges against Irina Dilkinska, a Bulgarian woman involved in the OneCoin crypto Ponzi scheme.
She was extradited to the US on March 20 and will soon appear before a U.S. magistrate judge.

Dilkinska has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, each of which carries a maximum potential sentence of 20 years in prison.

Dilkinska was OneCoin's "supposed head of legal and compliance for the OneCoin cryptocurrency pyramid scheme," U.S. Attorney Damien Williams said in the announcement.

The newly-unsealed charges against Dilkinska allege that she helped to create shell companies in order to launder as much as $400 million in proceeds.
