   "The astonishing true story of the Scottish coal miner's     
   daughter who took on the Mafia-endorsed creators of the world's     
   biggest financial fraud and helped the FBI to convict them-soon     
   to be a major motion picture.   
      
   "Jen McAdam, Scottish grandmother and daughter of a coal miner,   
   was a victim of the Onecoin global crypto-currency fraud, which   
   conned an estimated $27 billion from ordinary people around the   
   world. Unlike Madoff or Enron, who relieved the world's   
   wealthiest investors of their cash, the genius of the Onecoin   
   scam was that it targeted the poorest people in the world, the   
   'unbanked' - people who struggled to get approval for bank   
   accounts, and when they realized they had lost everything, were   
   unlikely to be able to fight back. But they didn't bank on Jen   
   McAdam.   
      
   "Jen's father left her œ15,000 when he died; his savings from a   
   living a careful life in a small Scottish mining town. Jen   
   wanted this money to be the start of a better life for her and   
   her son. She was digitally savvy, and she had heard of people   
   making fortunes with Bitcoin. When she saw the promotional   
   material for Onecoin - the founder Dr Ruja apparently featured   
   in the Economist, videos of celebrity attended events, gushing   
   video testimonials of people, just like her, who had changed   
   their lives. She was entranced.   
      
   "Only months later, she realized she would never see her money   
   again.   
      
   "Jen was one of the first victims to fight back, and despite   
   terrifying attempts to shut her and her growing support groups   
   down, she has tirelessly fought for justice for herself, her   
   family and friends and the millions around the world who have   
   lost everything, in some cases even their lives. Jen is a   
   modern Erin Brokovich, and this is a true David and Goliath   
   story, to give us all a message of hope about the power we as   
   individuals can have, even when things seem hopeless.
