The former head of legal and compliance for the phony cryptocurrency OneCoin was sentenced to four years in prison after admitting she helped launder hundreds of millions of dollars in proceeds from the scam.
Irina Dilkinska, 42, pleaded guilty in November to wire fraud and money-laundering conspiracy charges. US District Judge Edgardo Ramos on Wednesday declined her request to avoid prison and return home to Bulgaria to care for her two small children.
