She was so high-profile and so blatant at the time, swanning around in limos and holding seminars like a realestate tycoon.
I was pretty sure at the time that she was operating under protection, because she was breaching so many laws so openly while honest cypherpunks were hunted. I haven't changed my mind, I think the pursuit is fake and she "belongs to Intelligence" in a small-time version of the way Epstein lived.
She definately bagged the premium as one of the first to sell the blockchain ponzi at scale, I've followed the BBC podcast about her, and she was connected with a lot of high profile people in Eastern Europe and I'm pretty sure we don't know the full story
It's very hard to just up and ghost like she's done, without someone spotting you, given how popular her story was at the time, and now with a 5 million dollar bounty, how do you continue hide without help from people who couldn't care about 5 M's?
