OneCoin called itself «The Bitcoin Killer» and promised wealth and a digital financial revolution. It was all a hoax, but eight years later the scam still continues.
In 2014, OneCoin was launched. Here, anyone could become a crypto-billionaire overnight! There was only one problem; OneCoin is not a real cryptocurrency. It became the world's biggest crypto scam, and the man who exposed them was the Norwegian Bjørn Bjercke.
Eight years later, the scam is still alive and well, even though the founders are gone, arrested or wanted by the FBI. How can such a scam continue when everyone knows it is a lie? How can people continue to believe in it?
