A Slovenian college yanked a OneCoin promoter from its blockchain summer school after other lecturers threatened to walk out.

The Faculty of Commercial and Business Sciences in Celje had scheduled Polona Ajdic to speak at the three-day event starting September 17. Ajdic, a prominent OneCoin pusher in Slovenia, posted excitedly on Facebook on September 2 about her upcoming appearance.

"On the third day I will be one of the speakers myself," she wrote on her "Personal Breakthrough & Comfort Zone" page. "Join us for reaching out to as many people as possible."

The faculty's promotional material promised lectures on cryptocurrencies, ICOs, smart contracts, and blockchain business models from domestic and foreign experts.

Ajdic's name on the initial lecturer list triggered swift backlash. Multiple speakers told organizers they would boycott the event if she remained on the program. The faculty caved within 24 hours.

On September 3, FKPV published a revised lecturer roster. Ajdic was gone—the only name removed.

Mirjana Ivanuša-Bezjak, who teaches blockchain technology and cryptocurrency at FKPV and helped organize the summer school, confirmed the boycott threat forced the decision, according to Slovenian news outlet Siol.

The problem was obvious: Ajdic actively promotes OneCoin, which the cryptocurrency world and law enforcement agencies across multiple countries classify as a pyramid scheme. Slovenia's authorities share that assessment.

OneCoin has no blockchain. Promoting a Ponzi scheme at a blockchain event made no sense. It was like inviting a tobacco lobbyist to speak at a lung cancer research conference.

OneCoin's credibility has cratered in recent years. The operation once managed to score fake Forbes magazine covers and placements in shill publications. Those days are long gone. The scheme's ringleader, Ruja Ignatova, disappeared in 2017 after authorities began closing in. Her brother, Konstantin Ignatov, pleaded guilty to money laundering and fraud in 2019.

Investors worldwide lost billions to the scam. Despite mounting legal trouble and public exposure, promoters like Ajdic continue recruiting people and collecting recruitment fees.

Ajdic's removal from the FKPV event signals that even in smaller markets, the OneCoin crowd faces growing resistance. Legitimate blockchain educators don't want their work associated with a proven swindle. Professional reputations are on the line.

The summer school will proceed without her, presumably with speakers who can discuss blockchain technology without hawking fraudulent coins on the side.
