I could honestly listen to Jamie Bartlett talk about any subject - he is an absolutely outstanding journalist

As a Bulgarian, I could pretty much guarantee that she resides in somewhere in Eastern Europe (likely northern Greece or Bulgaria) under a new identity with legit ID documents.

[@flyswatter45]

Do you think she might be in a Roma gypsy community?

[@dnlxl]

@@flyswatter45 No. Not sure what you guys are imagining when thinking of a 'Roma gypsy community' but it's usually like an African slum (and she is not a gypsy but the daughter of a communist agent in Germany). I am sure she has lost the weight and changed her face, got a new Bulgarian ID and is living a regular life either in Bulgaria, Greece or Arabia somewhere. People seem to think that she is *A* scammer. Um, yeah, no... She might have came up with the idea, but in order to run something like this, you need a lot of powerful players involved e.g. the Bulgarian and Russian mafia/governments (she had access to the FBI, come on) and they are still protecting her.

[@flyswatter45]

@@dnlxl thanks for your thoughts. So the FBI is in a sense in the pockets of a east European mafia who implemented the scam through Dr Ruja ? Is it some kind of chess game where everyone is colluding and everyone has 'something' on everybody? Scary

I think I've seen someone similar but she said she was from Armenia and worked with major forms of real estate development or deep-water port infrastructure. She mentioned that her most recent collaboration was with a Chinese consortium and DP-world.

[@elsemuller2460]

Min 38: "Bitcoin in contrast to One Coin has never bin called a scam from regulators" - true, but also true: BTC can also lose value from 60.000 to 40.000 or - in theory- to ZERO , right? And the reason? As Warren Buffett and others say: there is no intrinsic value in it - it's not a currency and it's not a store of value. It's only worth something if you can sell it for more than you bought it for - means: if you find someone who is willing to pay more. What if people will realize that some day like it was with tulipmania in the Netherlands? Than there would only remain the "greater fool rule" .... So what IS the difference to a scam?

I trust a Bulgarian gypsy about as much as I trust a Nigerian Prince.

[@team69racing11]

Probably trust the prince more lol

[@BalkanMode]

ThisIsCore I doubt a Nigerian Prince can even match an ordinary gypsy let alone one that calls herself a “Doctor” and possibly even denies hey gypsy background. Decades ago Bulgaria conducted assimilation campaigns on her minorities as part of a “one nation” policy. This has brought much criticism and shame to the country but the only people who had no problem giving up their identities were the gypsies. Now a “Bulgarian” crypto queen swindled the world by the billions in an apparent pyramid or Ponzi scheme. Bernard Madoff must be jealous. :)

Atleast youll get your money back with the Nigerian princes
