Summary
The Department of Justice has established a formal compensation mechanism for victims of the OneCoin international cryptocurrency investment fraud scheme, making over $40 million in forfeited assets available for distribution. This initiative represents a significant recovery effort targeting individuals who suffered net losses from their OneCoin Ltd. investments. The compensation process, known as the OneCoin Remission program, is being administered through a dedicated platform and represents one of the largest asset recovery efforts in cryptocurrency fraud cases to date.
Victims who experienced financial losses through OneCoin must file claims by June 30, 2026, to be eligible for compensation consideration. The official application portal is located at onecoinremission.com, where claimants can submit documentation of their losses and investment history. The FBI is actively encouraging affected individuals to participate in this process, recognizing the substantial financial harm inflicted by the scheme on investors globally.
Concurrent with the compensation initiative, the FBI has launched Operation Level Up, a proactive law enforcement program designed to identify OneCoin victims and notify them of the compensation opportunity. This approach aims to maximize victim participation while simultaneously preventing further financial exploitation. The FBI has issued parallel warnings about cryptocurrency recovery scams that prey on fraud victims, advising them to discontinue all payments to fraudsters and instead file formal complaints with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov. This dual-track approach—pursuing legitimate victim compensation while combating secondary exploitation schemes—reflects the law enforcement community's recognition that OneCoin victims remain vulnerable to additional fraud during the recovery process.
