FBI has set a June 30 deadline for victims of the OneCoin cryptocurrency fraud to file compensation claims with the Department of Justice remission program. The claim filing is free and does not guarantee payment. Victims who purchased OneCoin between 2014 and 2019 and incurred a net financial loss may submit petitions online, by mail or email through onecoinremission.com, which is administered by Kroll Settlement Administration. More than $40 million in forfeited assets will be used to partially compensate eligible claimants. The FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge, James C. Barnacle Jr., said victims were told they would receive compensation. The Department of Justice opened the $40 million fund in April and reiterated the deadline in a notice issued this month. OneCoin founder Ruja Ignatova remains at large; authorities are offering up to $5 million for information leading to her arrest or conviction. Former co‑founder Karl Sebastian Greenwood was arrested in Thailand in 2018, extradited to the United States and sentenced to 20 years in prison in September 2023, and ordered to forfeit $300 million. The scheme, which presented itself as a Bitcoin alternative and used a multi‑level marketing structure, caused worldwide losses estimated at more than $4 billion. The FBI warned that individuals offering recovery assistance may not be legitimate. Only the justice.gov website and onecoinremission.com are authorized for the program. The deadline may close the opportunity for late filers.
