The Crypto Queen accomplice, like his former boss Ruja Ignatova, has disappeared prior to facing legal proceedings in the United States.
Frank Schneider, who worked as the “crisis manager” and security advisor for OneCoin’s mastermind Ignatova, is currently evading authorities and is being pursued by the French legal system.
Schneider, 53, was placed under house arrest in France while awaiting extradition to the US.

Throughout this period, Schneider resided in a village in France and granted interviews to journalists while collaborating with his legal team to contest his extradition.
