I started listening to podcasts thanks to @serial's great new genre of investigative journalism

@JamieJBartlett's The Missing Cryptoqueen is the best podcast series I've heard since.

Here's why you should listen to it: https://open.spotify.com/show/5nk7d9MLCgE3M47mXPW7MP?si=L1KzfFJpTxmx0-aeOnOp7g

It uncovers the story of Dr Ruja Ignatova who scammed millions with a fake cryptocurrency: @OneCoinCrypto

She played on greed, herd madness and a sense of belonging (us vs system)

She's disappeared off the face of the earth since October 2017.

She's still on the run.

When I first got into crypto end of 2015, I remember frequent warnings about OneCoin from the @cryptofr community and @quentinbdb

I hadn't realised the scale and continued existence of OneCoin (still going strong today) until this podcast.

We're currently in a new crypto bull market pushed by @ethereum's Decentralised Finance.

This environment will create new opportunities for scammers.

Stay aware, keep those around you safe from them.

Thanks @BBCSounds for doing your part by producing this.
