Young + dumb = Razzlekhan.

Isn't she just the next iteration of Anna Delvey/Sorokin; a pretender who wanted into a part of society and conned her way in, only to be found out?

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Bitcoin she stole was already stolen and marked as "bad" coins that were not to be traded. So offloading them became a problem because nobody who knew anything about Bitcoin was going to accept those as payment for anything. Those who did, got their hands slapped for trading in bad coins. (I think I have that right...?)

So while she thinks she and her boy are hot stuff, she mixes some music on her laptop (because what kid with a laptop ISN'T mixing music, "making beats", and pretending to be a rapper?), and cons some people into shooting a video (without permits), of her poorly written and produced track?

Isn't she just young + dumb and playing with the virtual toys her laptop gives her access to?

I guess what is surprising is that this is as rare as it is...

Remains to be seen, doesn't it? Is she a first order, second order or third order grifter? Here's the thing - all but TWO BTC got vacuumed up by the FBI. So either she did the deal, or she managed to get all the access to whoever did. She's ridiculous, to be sure. But if she managed to spearfish Bitfinex, it says a thing or two about Bitfinex.

Remember - there was a time when the biggest and bestest place to buy and sell crypto was the recently-repurposed "Magic The Gathering Online Xchange."
