Woman Arrested, Placed in ICE Custody Stole $850,000 in TrumpCoin from Ex, Private Eye Says
A 22-year-old woman, Maissa Jebali, was arrested and subsequently placed in ICE custody after stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency from her ex-boyfriend, Michael Anthony Bravo. According to private investigator David Bolton, Jebali’s motives were likely ulterior from the very beginning of their relationship.
A Tumultuous Relationship
Bolton, who was hired by Bravo to track down his ex, described the relationship as "tumultuous" from the start. The two met in June, and their relationship ended abruptly two Saturday nights ago.
The Heist
On the night of their breakup, Bravo fell asleep on his yacht, and Jebali took advantage of the opportunity to access his crypto accounts through his phone. She transferred $850,000 worth of TrumpCoin into her own crypto wallet. Additionally, she used her ex-boyfriend’s American Express card, making a $4,239.44 charge on Airbnb.
Arrest and Deportation
Police arrested Jebali at a downtown Miami hotel on Valentine’s Day, where she was found in possession of Bravo’s credit card. During the arrest, she claimed that Bravo was her ex-boyfriend and that she had used his credit card without his knowledge. She was charged with grand theft and credit card fraud.
After her court appearance, Jebali was handed over to immigration officials, where she will be deported to Tunisia, where she will retain the stolen funds.
The Aftermath
Bolton emphasized that Jebali holds the key to the crypto wallet where Bravo’s money is stored and that she has the passkey to access the accounts. He and Bravo are working with local representatives to try and recoup the stolen funds.
Conclusion
This case highlights the importance of vigilance and caution in online relationships, as well as the risks involved in investing in cryptocurrency. It also underscores the consequences of illegal activities, including the potential for deportation and the loss of one’s freedom.
