Titanic actress, Kate Winslet, is rumored to be starring in the film Fake! about the OneCoin ponzi scheme. The OneCoin scandal masterminded by Ruja Ignatova..
The news was published by the influential US cyber media, Deadline, on October 9, 2020.
Fake! will be directed and written by Scott Z. Burns, who directed the drama The Report. Burns had previously written the script for the film Contagion, which also stars Winslet.
According to Deadline's anonymous source, the Oscar-winning actress is said to be starring in the film Fake! Which was produced by Jennifer Todd for the MGM Studio production house. However, it did not say what role Winslet would play.
Fake Movie! Based on the book by Jen McAdam and Douglas Thompson, based on the real life story of Jen McAdam himself as one of the hundreds of victims of the OneCoin ponzi scheme.
The book has not yet been published, but previously it was rumored to be offered to a number of publishers at the Frankfurt Book Fair this year.
McAdam himself is a fairly central part of OneCoin founded by the fugitive, Ruja Ignatova. He and a number of his colleagues had founded a special group to promote OneCoin.
McAdam admitted that he, his friends and part of his family invested in OneCoin and had to be willing to lose nearly US $ 300k.
Crypto Queen of the World
The nickname "Cryptoqueen" was addressed to Dr. Ruja Ignatova, the leader of the OneCoin crypto project he founded in 2014. At that time, Ignatova wanted Onecoin to compete with Bitcoin's superiority as the King of Crypto Assets in the world.
He even invited hundreds of investors from 175 countries to join Onecoin. It was later discovered that the marketing model used a Ponzi scheme. And nobody uses blockchain technology at all as promised.
The victims raised their voices and reported the case. Then, the beautiful woman who graduated from Oxford has disappeared since October 2017 and is now being hunted by the FBI.
Towards the end of last year, Onecoin officials were seized one by one and Onecoin-related sites were confiscated. A number of sites were still accessible, but most of them have been blocked.
Church Allegedly Involved
Apart from Cairns in Australia, the Onecoin Ponzi scheme is also spreading in the city of Auckland, New Zealand, especially in the Samoan Church.
The authorities are currently investigating the Samoa Worship Center in relation to Onecoin. Reportedly, Onecoin officials sold Onecoin products worth tens of thousands of dollars to church members.
A number of reports reveal the Samoan Independent Seventh Day Adventist Church (SISDAC) and its associated worship centers are being used to sell Onecoin packages.
According to Pastor Avele Tanielu, the church and its organizations have nothing to do with the Onecoin operation. SISDAC is assisting the authorities, and claims their church has not violated any money laundering laws.
A former US lawyer, Mark Scott, is also suspected of being involved in Onecoin. He is currently preparing a defense against the alleged laundering of US $ 400 million proceeds from Onecoin.
Ignatova's brother Konstantin Ignatov pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering in connection with the OneCoin scheme. Konstantin was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport in March 2019.
