FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list has two women; Cindy Rodriguez Singh arrested but who is the other female fugitive with $5 million bounty

Cindy Rodriguez Singh, who was on the "10 Most Wanted" list of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was arrested by the agency in August 2025. According to media reports, she fled to India after being accused of killing her six-year-old son, Noel Rodriguez Alvarez.

Singh was added to the FBI's "10 Most Wanted" list in 2023. She was charged with capital murder and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. According to the BBC, FBI Director Kash Patel gave "credit to tremendous field work, law enforcement partners, and intelligence operatives" for her arrest, as well as officials in India, where she was apprehended.

The fugitive fled the US in 2023, two days after police in Everman, Texas, performed a wellness check on Noel, who had not been seen since the previous October. During the check-in in March 2023, Singh said her son was in Mexico with his biological father. She has been arrested by the FBI; however, she was not the only woman on the "10 Most Wanted" list.

The other woman among the top 10 is Ruja Ignatova. She was added to the list by the FBI on June 30, 2022, for her alleged leadership of a massive fraud scheme that affected millions of investors worldwide, according to its website.

Ruja Ignatova: All about her

According to the information available on the FBI's official website, Ruja Ignatova was born on May 30, 1980, in Bulgaria. She is wanted for her alleged participation in a large-scale fraud scheme. Beginning in approximately 2014, Ignatova and others are alleged to have defrauded billions of dollars from investors all over the world. Ignatova was the founder of OneCoin Ltd., a Bulgaria-based company that marketed a purported cryptocurrency.

In a bid to execute the scheme, Ignatova allegedly made false statements and representations to individuals to solicit investments in OneCoin, according to the FBI website. She allegedly instructed victims to transmit investment funds to OneCoin accounts in order to purchase OneCoin packages, causing victims to send wire transfers representing these investments. Throughout the scheme, OneCoin is believed to have defrauded victims out of more than $4 billion.

Ignatova served as OneCoin's top leader through October 2017. She was charged in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, on October 12, 2017, and a federal warrant was issued for her arrest. On February 6, 2018, a superseding indictment was issued charging Ignatova with one count each of conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud; Wire Fraud; Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering; Conspiracy to Commit Securities Fraud; and Securities Fraud.

Reward

The FBI website stated that the United States Department of State's Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Ruja Ignatova. Ignatova is believed to travel with armed guards and/or associates. Ignatova may have had plastic surgery or otherwise altered her appearance.
