The Queen of Crypto or Mastermind of Deceit?
Valeria Fedyakina, also known as the "Queen of Crypto," is being taken to task with huge accusations. It has been alleged that she defrauded investors out of $22 million through promises of great returns from crypto investments. Imagine trusting someone, putting money into a person who seemed to have it all together with offices in big cities, a big personality, and an assurance of a 1% return.
Yet, instead of fortune, her investors say they were left with empty promises and losses.
She allegedly used part of this money to fund Ukraine's military. Her motives here are not very clear: was she trying to help, or was this all a shield?
Her story took a somewhat strange turn when, pregnant, she tried to flee Russia, something that did not help her case. Now she is in detention, facing possibly ten years in prison if found guilty.
