My Take
Ruja Ignatova is the kind of figure I can't look away from even knowing she's a villain. The self-styled "Cryptoqueen" built OneCoin, pulled in billions, and then simply vanished on 25 October 2017, leaving behind what The Times called one of the biggest scams in history. The grim irony is she's a University of Konstanz-educated, German-Bulgarian entrepreneur who turned a real intellect entirely toward fraud. She remains on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, which keeps the "where on earth is she" mystery alive. Brains aimed the wrong way can collapse this spectacularly. It genuinely unnerves me.
