Onecoin ‘Compliance’ Head Pleads Guilty to Wire Fraud and Money Laundering Charges Irina Dilkinska, the one-time head of legal and compliance at
Onecoin, has pleaded guilty to
“wire fraud and money laundering charges,” Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, has said.
In a Nov. 9 press release, Williams said the charges against Dilkinska relate to her role in organizing the transfer
of $110 million in fraudulently obtained funds to a Cayman Islands entity. In September 2023, Greenwood, who also served as Onecoin’s global master distributor and the leader of the MLM network,
was sentenced to 20 years in a U.S. jail. Greenwood’s sentencing came just over five years after his arrest in Thailand.
Meanwhile, in remarks following Dilkinska’s guilty plea, Williams said: “As Onecoin’s so-called ‘Head of Legal and Compliance’ Irina Dilkinska accomplished the exact opposite goal of her position. As she has now admitted, Dilkinska facilitated the laundering of millions of dollars of illicit profits Onecoin accrued through its multi-level marketing scheme.” He
added that officials from his office and the law enforcement partners will pursue the matter until all defendants including the fugitive Ignatova are brought to justice.
According to the press release, Dilkinska, a Bulgarian national, faces a
maximum of five years in prison for the count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
