Lessons to Be Learned From the Case of Ingrid Aver

Advertisment

Ingrid Aver is a thirty-year-old woman with Russian and German nationality living in Ohio. She has been working in the telecommunication industry for more than ten years; most of her career was spent as a manager for engineering firms in Cleveland, Toledo, and Pittsburgh. Ingrid’s background is very limited; she attended school only once before qualifying to take the National Telecommunication Management Exam, the last one she took was in 2021. Her educational qualifications are far from adequate considering that she failed to even qualify as an engineer!

Ingrid’s biological father is American; she was born and raised in Ohio. She claims to know nothing of her biological mother’s nationality but she certainly knows American, Spanish and German. Her birth certificate is a copy of the student visa that was valid when she went to school in Germany. Her real name is Ingrid Ruthier; she has used her maiden name Ingrid-aver in most of her social media accounts. Apart from this, there is another clue that will shed more light on Ingrid’s real identity; her nicknames that reveal her true identity to contain the word “nasty” and “bad”, alluded to her personality.

Ingrid’s main crime is identity theft; she is obsessed with finding her biological family in Russia so that she can claim to be a German. Her secret lover is a close associate of hers in the telecommunication industry who also happens to be her employer; he refers to her by her codename “Bob” in emails and chats. Bob is the person who arranged for Ingrid to come to the USA on vacation with the hope of finding love. He was paid $1 million by a US company to do this. The money was transferred to Bob’s bank account and Ingrid was allowed to live in the USA with Bob as her lover.
