The report notes that Martin Breidenbach is on trial in M\u00fcnster, Germany with two other individuals over alleged money laundering charges that are connected to the Onecoin pyramid scheme and Ruja Ignatova. Reports published years ago show that Breidenbach <a href=\"https:\/\/behindmlm.com\/companies\/onecoin\/onecoin-legal-opinion-authored-by-director-of-the-company\/\">started working<\/a> with Onecoin in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer worked with the law firm Breidenbach Rechtsanw\u00e4lte and it has been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OzDelphi\/status\/1192801510125522944?s=20\">said<\/a> that the attorney was also the director of Onecoin Limited (Gibraltar) for eight months in 2015, and ostensibly a partner in Cryptoreal firm RSB Central GmbH (Switzerland) as well.

The property was purchased by a shell company in 2016 which kept the \u2018Cryptoqueen\u2019s\u2019 name out of the picture. Just before she leased the London flat, Ignatova pleaded guilty to a German bankruptcy case. Now Breidenbach is accused of money laundering after transferring \u20ac20 million ($23 million) in order to finance the property.<\/p>\n<p>Reports note that the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/lawsuit-claims-onecoins-cryptoqueen-ruja-ignatova-holds-230000-bitcoin\/\">Cryptoqueen<\/a>\u2019 did stay at the luxury apartment in 2016 but didn\u2019t spend much time there. The property\u2019s owner, as shown on the deed, is called Abbots House Penthouse Limited. Meanwhile, Ruja Ignatova has been missing since 2017 and despite a large worldwide search effort, she has not been found. Onecoin is considered one of the largest crypto-related Ponzi schemes ever and the first as well.<\/p>\n<h2>In 2014 the Law Firm Breidenbach Rechtsanw\u00e4lte Said: \u2018In Our Opinion, the Onecoin Is a Legitimate Product\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>The German lawyer\u2019s office Breidenbach Rechtsanw\u00e4lte in 2014 helped legitimize the idea that Onecoin was a cryptocurrency, even though it didn\u2019t have a blockchain or <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/part-deux-onecoin-buyer-beware-the-definitive-ponzi-expose\/\">any similarities<\/a> to any blockchain technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost countries have recognized cryptocurrencies as a bona fide commodity, which may be held and traded by their citizens,\u201d the law firm Breidenbach Rechtsanw\u00e4lte <a href=\"https:\/\/behindmlm.com\/companies\/onecoin\/onecoin-legal-opinion-authored-by-director-of-the-company\/\">opined in 2014<\/a>. \u201cIn our opinion, the \u2018Onecoin\u2019 is a legitimate product, limited to 2.1 billion (coins),\u201d the law firm added in December 2014.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think about the trial of Martin Breidenbach in Germany and the \u2018Cryptoqueen\u2019s\u2019 expensive habits?
