Jennifer McAdam er en skotsk forfatter og forbrukeraktivist.

I 2015 arvet McAdam 15 000 pund da hennes far døde, og hun ønsket å finne en måte å investere disse pengene for å få dem til å kaste av seg. Fra en venn fikk hun høre om konseptet OneCoin som ble markedsført som en ny og revolusjonerende kryptovaluta som skulle utkonkurrere Bitcoin.[1] I tillegg til å satse egne midler overbeviste hun familiemedlemmer til å investere totalt 250 000 pund.[2]

I 2016 innså McAdam at OneCoin ikke var noen reell kryptovaluta, men en gigantisk Ponzi-svindel. Hun forsøkte derfor å varsle britiske myndigheter og advare allmennheten for å unngå at flere skulle bli utsatt for samme bedrageri. Dette førte til at hun ble utsatt for alvorlige trusler fra personer tilknyttet OneCoin,[3] og hun ble av FBI anbefalt å flytte til hemmelig adresse, noe hun nektet å gjøre.[2] Via det britiske advokatfirmaet Carter-Ruck mottok hun også trusler om søksmål for ærekrenkelser.[4][5]

I 2020 ga McAdam ut boken Devil’s Coin hvor hun beskrev sine erfaringer med OneCoin.[6][7] Flere boksigneringer måtte kanselleres grunnet forhold som ble omtalt som alvorlige sikkerhetshensyn.[8] Samme år ble det gjort kjent planer om å lage en Hollywood-film av historien, og at Kate Winslet var valgt ut til å spille hovedrollen som Jennifer McAdam.[9]
