OneCoin is running out of places to hide its money.
Just four days after we exposed the cryptocurrency scam's frozen Singapore bank account, OneCoin scrambled to open a new one in Cyprus with Hellenic Bank. That account lasted less than a week before the bank shut it down.
The Hellenic Bank portal vanished from OneCoin's affiliate backoffice sometime in the past 24 hours. OneCoin affiliates now have only two remaining options to funnel their investments: Bank of Africa in Tanzania and United Overseas Bank, which OneCoin is using through a freshly opened account under a shell company name.
The fact that Bank of Africa has tolerated OneCoin's account for an extended period raises hard questions about the bank's due diligence. OneCoin opened its previous UOB account under a different shell company after the original froze. Now it's doing the same thing again with another UOB account, this time under the shell company "Vernada Trading Pte. Ltd."
OneCoin's desperation is showing in how it tries to deceive banks. The company attempted to fool Hellenic Bank using pre-filled proforma invoices that made no mention of OneCoin or its affiliate program, OneLife. The gambit failed. But OneCoin continues the same deception strategy with its remaining two banks, submitting fake invoices that obscure what the money is actually for.
The company has a clear reason for these charades: OneCoin itself appears on one or more financial blacklists, making it impossible to open accounts under its own name. So it launders its affiliate investment schemes through shell companies with bland corporate names like "IMS Marketing Tanzania Limited."
Affiliates depositing funds into these accounts are explicitly warned not to contact either bank or mention OneCoin in their wire transfer instructions. The instructions are stark. Ask questions, and you risk your transaction being blocked or investigated.
What we're watching is a fraud operation in active collapse. Each account that closes forces OneCoin to find another bank willing to process deposits from a scheme that operates on a simple principle: recruit more people, take their money, promise returns that never materialize. Two banks remain. How much longer they'll tolerate it is the only real question left.
