Two men involved in promoting the onecoin cryptocurrency pyramid in the Latin American region were found murdered in Mexico. This is reported by the local newspaper Latercera.
In late 2017, Oscar Brito Ibarra joined OneCoin and began traveling around Latin America, encouraging people to invest in the project.
Later, he recruited Ignacio Ibarra and switched to promoting the Latin American Automotive Marketing Company (CLA). They offered potential investors a discount on buying a car when using the OneCoin system.
At the end of June, they went to the Mexican city of Mazatlan, and a few days later, the police found their bodies. According to a report from the us drug enforcement Administration, local cartels may be involved in the murder. According to them, organized crime actively uses cryptocurrencies for the purpose of money laundering.
