According to the Department of Justice, the filing deadline for OneCoin fraud victim compensation closed on June 30, ending the first opportunity for investors to claim a portion of the $40 million in forfeited assets set aside through the remission program. The program, announced in April, targets eligible investors who purchased OneCoin between 2014 and 2019 and suffered a net financial loss from the scheme, which prosecutors estimate caused over $4 billion in total investor losses globally.
The Department of Justice and Kroll Settlement Administration will now begin reviewing thousands of submitted petitions to verify eligibility, calculate verified losses, and determine compensation allocations. Officials must validate supporting documentation and account for any prior withdrawals or commissions before determining which claimants qualify for payments. However, the Department has not announced a timeline for decisions or payment distributions. Even approved claimants should expect only partial compensation, as the available $40 million represents just a fraction of the $4 billion in total losses from OneCoin's multi-level marketing fraud.
