🚨 Breaking: Irina Dilkinska, head of OneCoin's legal department, has officially pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering in connection with the massive OneCoin cryptocurrency scheme.

Judge Edgardo Ramos of the U.S. District Court accepted Dilkinska's guilty plea. The former legal executive now faces serious consequences, with each charge carrying a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison. This case represents one of the largest cryptocurrency fraud prosecutions to date.

📊 OneCoin, founded in 2014 and marketed as a "Bitcoin killer," operated one of history's largest cryptocurrency pyramid schemes. The operation attracted over 3 million investors worldwide, generating an astonishing $4.3 billion in sales revenue and $2.91 billion in profits before authorities intervened. The scheme's founder, Ruja Ignatova, remains at large after being charged in 2017 with fraud and money laundering in the Southern District of New York.
