It’s been a long time—over seven years now—since a handful of major crypto exchanges realized something was wrong. Bitfinex and Canada’s QuadrigaCX were among them. Money was getting tight. Actually, more than tight. Frozen.
A Sudden Disappearance
The problem, it turned out, was their payment processor. A Panamanian outfit called Crypto Capital Corp. They were the backstop for a lot of these platforms. And then, one day, no one answered the phone. For anyone.
Days passed. Then weeks. Eventually, it became clear: the people behind Crypto Capital had simply walked away. With something like $800 million.
The People Behind the Scheme
It didn’t take long for the names to surface. There were only four of them. Reginald Fowler, Ivan Manuel Molina Lee, and a brother-sister pair, Ozzie and Ravid Yosef.
An indictment followed in the Southern District of New York. Fowler and Molina Lee were arrested. Fowler pled guilty. He got 75 months and was ordered to repay nearly all that money—though he’s apparently trying to shorten his sentence now. Molina Lee is sitting in a Polish prison.
But the Yosefs? They vanished.
A Very Public Fugitive
Which is what makes Ravid Yosef’s story so strange. She didn’t exactly go deep underground. Instead, she seemed to go… public. Reports say she traveled to Israel. She even updated her Google Reviews, seemingly to prove she was there. She only took her profile private after people noticed.
But that wasn’t the end of it. While under indictment for serious fraud charges, she filed a trademark application in 2020 for a women’s health app called Embie. The application eventually lapsed, but the app’s website appeared to be active through last year.
Life in Israel
A look at Israeli business records shows a company tied to her, first called “Veed T.B.D., LTD” and later “Embie Clinic.” Its address is a co-working space in Jerusalem. The company, interestingly, remains in good standing.
She even updated a Pinterest profile back in 2021, looking for party decoration ideas. It doesn’t exactly sound like someone fearing capture.
So what happens now? Israeli authorities likely know where she is. Apprehending her wouldn’t seem to be the hard part. The question is whether there’s any will to do it for financial crimes that didn’t target Israeli citizens.
Her brother, Oz, has been far more careful. His digital trail is cold. It’s not known if he’s also in Israel.
The U.S. and Israel have an extradition treaty, but Israel can refuse if it deems a request politically motivated or related to a crime carrying the death penalty. These charges don’t carry that penalty. And it’s hard to see a political angle here.
For now, it seems, Ravid Yosef’s status remains exactly what she once named her company: To Be Determined.
