The movie will be title ‘Fake’ and is based on the book by Jen McAdam with Douglas Thompson. The book is currently being shopped around to publishers for this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair. McAdam will executive produce the movie, according to the report.
OneCoin was promoted as a cryptocurrency by Bulgaria-based offshore companies OneCoin Ltd (registered in Dubai) and OneLife Network Ltd (registered in Belize), both founded by Ruja Ignatova in concert with Sebastian Greenwood.
