The co-founder of the cryptocurrency investment platform Forsage has been extradited from Thailand to the United States and pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit telecommunications fraud

The U.S. Department of Justice stated that Olena Oblamska, a Ukrainian national accused of operating the cryptocurrency investment platform Forsage, was extradited from Thailand to the United States last week and appeared in federal court in Oregon, pleading not guilty to the charge of "conspiracy to commit wire fraud."

Prosecutors claim that Forsage operated under the guise of an investment project based on Ethereum blockchain "smart contracts," but in reality constituted a Ponzi and pyramid investment scheme, involving approximately $340 million. Currently, Olena Oblamska is being held in custody awaiting trial, with jury proceedings expected to begin on July 14, 2026; if convicted, she could face up to 20 years in federal prison.
