FBI Urges OneCoin Victims to File by June 30 for Limited DOJ Restitution
The deadline forces victims to submit claims to compete for just over $40 million in forfeited assets that will provide only partial payments.
Overview
- The FBI on Friday renewed its public warning that OneCoin victims must file petitions by the June 30, 2026, deadline to be considered for payouts from the Department of Justice remission program.
- The DOJ opened the formal remission process in April and set up onecoinremission.com, managed by Kroll Settlement Administration, for free filings by online form, mail, or email.
- To qualify, petitioners must show they bought OneCoin packages between 2014 and 2019 and prove a net financial loss tied directly to those purchases; filing does not guarantee any payment.
- More than $40 million in forfeited assets has been made available for distribution even though investigators say investors lost an estimated $4 billion overall, and some defendants like Karl Sebastian Greenwood face separate $300 million forfeiture orders.
- Ruja Ignatova remains a fugitive on the FBI Ten Most Wanted list with up to a $5 million reward for information, and authorities warn victims to use only justice.gov or onecoinremission.com to avoid fake recovery scams.
