Accomplices, Codes, and much more!
A great chunk of my information comes from a very limited file from Venmo that contains 1,829 transactions through his venmo @ryno817 and spanning from late June to Late August 2024.Upon examining this at length I have identified – with the help of other victims – at least 5 other potential accomplices – all are family members or close family friends.

IP Addresses Associated With Fraud (High Confidence)
73.73.71.212 Chicago,Illinois – The shot caller IP Address (255 transactions)
76.32.110.135 Los Angeles,California – (16 transactions)
151.124.104.48 Miami,Florida – (9 transactions)
174.192.130.62 Milwaukee,Wisconsin – (6 transactions)
207.96.37.221 Chicago,Illinois – (6 transactions)
*While there are plenty of other fraudulent IP addresses I surmise they were using a VPN or something similar to mask identity. Unfortunately for them, they were careless. Especially with the main device used in Chicago.
Fraud Code
The people I believe to be involved all used very similar notes, had excessive transactions, had Chicago based IP addresses (often identical) in many cases, and sometimes in the notes they would put a victims name indicating refunds to that person or deposits because they brought in money from that person. The most common notes associated with these accounts are..
Go Bulls
NBA tix (or any sports teams names)
Loan
God Bless
Gift or (Gift) For my son
Birthday
?
Rent:
🏠 or 🍕
:venmo_dollar:
Utilites or Electricity
Partial
Granted not every transaction with these is fraud. However, its a pattern I noticed in my search worth looking into.

Why I believe each person to be involved
Joel D. Vitug – Rynes Dad – jmrvit@yahoo.com
IP Address (most common): 174.192.130.62/Milwaukee, WI and 73.73.71.212/Chicago, IL
In just over 60 days Ryne has 14 transactions to/from his Dads Venmo totaling $13,200.81. Many labeled as ‘gift’ ‘birthday’ or ‘more birthday.’ Also, this is a perfect IP match for Maria Vitug so they used the same device. Which seems very unusual.
Maria Vitug – Rynes Mom – mpt106@yahoo.com
IP Address: 73.73.71.212 – Chicago, IL
In just over 60 days Ryne has 15 transactions to/from his Moms Venmo totaling $17,529.03. Many labeled as ‘God bless you’ ‘Happy Birthday’ ‘:venmo_dollar:’ Important to note that many other conspirators accounts below that may be aliases almost all have one thing in common. Maria Vitugs IP address. Interestingly, Maria is the only person I have found thus far that has the same IP address for every transaction. Leading me to believe that Maria was either using multiple accounts on her phone or desktop.

I love my parents as much as most, however, I can’t recall a time where we exchanged over $30k in a 60 day period via Venmo.
