12/7/24 – Third Ryne’s the charm.

As usual, thank you to everyone for the non-stop stream of tips and stories pouring in. Website traffic is growing daily, and we are now #1 organically on Google if you type in “Ryne Vitug.”

Before I start my article, I first write to all of Ryne’s family members distant or not (and friends). I realize many of you may not be involved. Perhaps you sent a refund for Ryne a time or two, or accepted money from someone on his behalf. Whatever the reasons, if you participated at all, reach out to me and give me your story. If you are willing to share information with me confidentially, I promise I will refrain from blasting your name out publicly in the coming articles – even if I think you are still involved. Please understand there are hundreds of people that want me to out you, and for some of you there is a lot of explaining to do as far as multiple cash transactions between accounts, victims names in the notes, actively taking orders for Ryne and laying out how his process works, continuing to encourage people to not file police reports even after being made aware of this site and talking to me. Even if you claim you were not compensated monetarily, per se, many of you were receiving freebies in the form of trips or tickets – which is still a financial reward from questionable funds. I would liken it unto a drive by shooting. You picked Ryne up, drove him to the scene, he shot someone – while you closed your eyes, and then you drove him home. Many of you did this over and over. You let him financially “drive by” on hundreds of victims. It is not my place to judge, or place my personal feelings of your guilt above your own feelings of innocence if you truly believe it. That’s the job of the authorities to unravel the facts, bring charges, and present to the jury to decide. My offer of confidentiality will stop angry people from contacting you and public shame prior to that point if I out your involvement with your name in the coming days, and I will.

Now onto today’s article. Many of Ryne’s family members have been caught off guard by the onslaught of evidence presented. Sadly, he owes tens of thousands of dollars to many of those family members as well. Which is why I started this article the way I did. If my family member or close friend was Ryne, I wouldn’t want to be held liable for his actions if I thought I was just helping him in a pinch by moving some money.

What caught my attention this time was when individuals I have spoken to in his family circles have told me they thought that this “was already settled.” You see, it turns out this con has been going on for quite some time, and many of us were left wondering “Why didn’t people who got screwed come forward earlier?” Occam’s razor folks: They already did!

Here’s the scoop, In the earlier part of 2024, the jig was up. Ryne was at the casinos Yolo’ing away money from other victims, just like yourself. He began to default on trips and there wasn’t enough new money coming in to cover the losses. Panic set in as angry victims began to reach out to not only Ryne, but the rest of the family (many of these victims were friends of the family). With the looming threat of lawsuits and sure-to-follow loss of career and jail time for Ryne, the adults in the family came together and decided that they would sell Grandma Yolanda’s house and use that money to pay off the victims, and I got the receipts to prove it. $61,812.50 to be exact – see below.

Did taking his Grandmother’s house to pay for his addiction, and narrowly avoiding criminal prosecution persuade him to alter his actions? Not a chance in hell. Instead, Ryne doubled down. Going back to those same people and convincing them to spread the word and buy more trips. After all, they didn’t know that Ryne had to sell his poor Lola’s house to pay them back. As far as they were concerned, this made Ryne more legitimate then ever – and Ryne knew it.

Fast forward 8 months later, and here we are, in the same position again. The money is gone. The family house in South Elgin just sold in early November – allegedly to pay for Ryne’s debts, again. Although, even if owned free-and-clear, it doesn’t cover the cost of what is owed at today’s confirmed stolen amount. $507,050.15.

So the question is: what’s the play now? I have so many questions for those closest to Ryne participating in this. Why would you guys repeat this same course and give Ryne another lifeline at your own expense – especially knowing what you know now? Perhaps you are a part of it and trying to prevent law enforcement from taking a closer look? Also, if we had to sell poor Lola’s house earlier this year to pay for his debts, why were multiple family members still moving large amounts of money through multiple transactions through the cash apps constantly to and from Ryne? <—– This is the main question that leads me to think multiple family members are guilty. Especially after I find out Ryne paid “refunds” earlier this year, which essentially amounts to hush money so they would just go away and not bring suits and charges – and the family was aware then. However, that was the basis that was used to grow the scheme yet again.

My offer stands, anonymity for you, whether I think you are guilty or not. All you have to do is talk. Otherwise, your names will be up soon and we will see what else we can catch with such a large amount of names and attention on this story.

Until tomorrow! (or maybe Monday. I think I need to sleep)
