The Greek police are looking for Bulgarian Ruja Ignatova, known as the "Queen of cryptocurrencies". She is on FBI’s top 10 most wanted list. Ignatova is also wanted by Europol and Interpol. Ruja Ignatova boarded a flight from Sofia to Athens in 2017 and disappeared without a trace.

 Earlier, she stole at least USD 4 billion from investors, promising them incomes through the fake cryptocurrency OneCoin. So far, however, the Bulgarian has not been found.
