Police of India, one of the countries where OneCoin activity is being investigated, has been looking for individuals implied in the crime starting from April when a group of persons was arrested after a promotional event. Ruja Ignatova, one of the personscharged, is OneCoin founder and was largely considered as a public person appearing at events all over the world including one in Macau this May. A group of “almost 30” people has been accused as a result of police investigation in Mumbai.

According to the publication, investigators have difficulty talking on the fraud with some of the individuals involved in OneCoin scheme because it is classified as a Ponzi scheme when investors become criminals as well as victims.
