Women are finally getting some recognition in the world of finance.

offering a $100k reward for someone who's stole over 4billion is laughable tbh, come on FBI raise your game

[youcan]

She was always preaching “take back control of your money from the government “ she definitely did control of “your money” and run away ….

[uknasa]

She didn't lie to anyone, they all ended up with one coin.

“People’s fear of missing out” LOL No, people’s greed.

She’s probably on a tropical island with no extradition treaty, heck she could have bought an island with the money she took from crypto-fools!

FBI: take this 100k and find this woman.
Woman: here is 500k, shhhh. Yes ma'am

I bet she's hiding in plain sight, wearing a burka in Dubai. All that money wouldn't raise suspicion there and she looks quite middle-eastern. She could quite easily wash the money in the UAE too. I'd like the $100, 000 reward if I'm right :D

[memyshadow]

Finally, we are at the top list of something… sooo HAPPY, sooo proud to be a Bulgarian 😂😂😂😂

[copalt]

She's iconic I'm waiting for her Netflix series

[ParisPK]

She stole 4 billion dollars and the bounty on her is 100k? Yea no one finna snitch on her

[evocatimedia]

The masterminds behind this probably made her “disappear “. She could be dead while they are unknown. Just follow the money.

Two guys approached me and my friend in a cafe once back in 2016 and we almost got tricked into doing this back then, but we were too broke to sign up, we just barely afford the coffee at the time. But listening to them, we would've signed up almost immediately if we had our last savings, that's how convincing they were.... Sad to think how other people must've spent their last remaining money to sign up, hopeful for a return in profit

"Earned a PhD in private international law from the University of Constance." Well, I'm not surprised how could she stay under the radar for this long.

[mtcmys]

She did nothing wrong. She clearly told people that they would have ONE COIN. That's exactly what they have now, one coin 😀😀😀

[mikiggs]

She was probably only the face of the scam and the people behind the scam have most likely killed her so she doesn't reveal any information about the group. I would assume an international criminal group is behind the scam.

[streetinscotland]

Her name is now Bernard and rumour has it she's somewhere in Stoke.

Well done Ruja, well done. I will never understand human greed to get money without work, Ruja and her associates just took advantage of that human greed. My friend vigorously urged me to join that cryptocurrency scheme, "safe, easy money, " he said, and now he's been pulling his hair out for the past week. well done...

[gsota]

Be satisfied with what you have, that's lesson for all, most especially for those who have learned it the hard way. I'm so sad for them.

Peace of mind and the chance to sleep soundly at night are priceless.
