Sveta Ananas, a well-known blogger and dancer from Yekaterinburg, has reportedly lost three million rubles after investing in a fish business. The incident has prompted a police investigation and revealed that other individuals may have also fallen victim to the same entrepreneur.

Ananas, whose real name is Bonor, stated that she was contacted via social media by a woman named Maria, who proposed a business opportunity. Maria promised Ananas a percentage of sales in exchange for an investment in her fish business.

According to Ananas, the deal initially seemed promising. She received interest payments in the first month, which reinforced her belief in the legitimacy of the venture. Maria provided invoices, documents, and constant photos and videos to support her claims, further gaining Ananas’ trust.

However, Maria soon ceased communication, prompting Ananas to share her experience on social media. It was then that she discovered that dozens of other people had also been allegedly defrauded by Maria.

Evgenia, a friend of Ananas, also found herself in a similar situation. They learned that Maria’s stores had been re-registered to other people and that the total amount of money lost by victims across various cities is estimated to be around 300 million rubles.

The victims have filed reports with the police. Attempts to contact Maria have been unsuccessful.
