Rob Trela was the lead editor on this  three part documentary series which looks at one of the wildest rides in the cryptocurrency world: OneCoin. This wasn’t just another crypto coin; it was the brainchild of Ruja Ignatova, who promised riches beyond belief. People from all over the globe bought into her vision and invested their life savings, thinking they were on the brink of making millions. Spoiler alert: they weren’t.

Ruja Ignatova had an impressive background and slick presentations, she managed to convince thousands of people that OneCoin was the future of cryptocurrency. She painted a picture so compelling that many were willing to gamble everything they had. But as time went on, it became clear that OneCoin was more fantasy than reality. The fallout from the OneCoin scam reached far and wide and people in the UK, US, and Uganda found themselves in financial ruin.

Rob worked closely with Sam and Rudolf on this series, he said ‘it’s definitely an eye opening dive into one of the largest crypto ponzi scams in the world. Thoroughly enjoyed working on this one!’

Fugitive: The Mystery of the Crypto Queen is airing here in the UK after premiering at Sky Germany last month. It was Sky’s top 5 True Crime show of all time there.
