In a recent development, Mark Scott, a 54-year-old attorney responsible for laundering $400 million from the notorious OneCoin fraud, has had his motion for a new trial denied. This decision comes despite revelations that a prosecution witness had committed perjury during the 2019 trial against Scott.
Scott contended that he was unaware of OneCoin’s fraudulent nature at the time of his involvement. He argued that he should not face charges for his role in establishing the fund responsible for laundering money on behalf of OneCoin’s founder, Ruja “Cryptoqueen” Ignatov.
