NEW: Britain’s top libel firm, Carter-Ruck, acted for OneCoin - a $4bn crypto-fraud.
The firm threatened whistleblowers, journalists, regulators, and even the police.
Carter-Ruck's work helped the fraud continue as long as it did.
Was that a crime?

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
