The Bulgaria-based Ponzi scheme Onecoin is making headlines again as a number of new revelations have come to light. The twisted tale continues with a man named Gilbert Armenta who has been accused of co-conspiring with the lawyer Mark Scott to launder hundreds of millions of Onecoin proceeds.
News.Bitcoin.com has reported on Scott’s alleged conspiring with Onecoin leaders after filings from the New York Southern District Court (NYSD) revealed he was charged with laundering $400 million in the British Virgin Islands. Armenta ostensibly worked with Scott and Ruja Ignatova, otherwise known as the ‘Cryptoqueen.’
Reports published in February show that Scott threw Armenta “under the bus” and alleged that Amenta “provided his own banks with supposedly inaccurate information about why he, Armenta, was transferring his own money to the BVI-approved Fenero private equity funds managed through Mr. Scott.”
