Tunisian Woman Arrested for Stealing $850K in TrumpCoin Cryptocurrency
Maissa Jebali, a 22-year-old Tunisian woman, was arrested in Miami for stealing $850,000 worth of TrumpCoin cryptocurrency from her ex-boyfriend, Anthony Bravo. After their breakup, Jebali allegedly transferred the funds from Bravo’s crypto wallet and made unauthorized purchases using his credit card.
Due to her undocumented status, she was placed in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, raising concerns about her potential deportation to Tunisia before her trial. Jebali has pleaded not guilty, and her lawyer is hopeful she will face the charges in the U.S.
The case has drawn attention due to the large amount of cryptocurrency involved and the complications arising from Jebali’s immigration status.
