Synopsis
In 2014, the crypto-currency OneCoin was launched. Calling itself the ‘Bitcoin killer,’ OneCoin promised a digital revolution in the financial market. Anyone could become a millionaire overnight, as long as they invested in OneCoin. With Ruja Ignatova as its official queen, OneCoin quickly became the talk of the town from Silicon Valley to Europe and Africa – until Norwegian whistleblower Bjørn Bjercke discovered that there was no actual currency behind this digital house of cards. OneCoin was closer to a pyramid scheme than anything to do with blockchain. Ten years later, after countless scandals, imprisonments, and deaths, OneCoin, incredibly, lives on.
