It’s a strange situation, to say the least. Ravid Yosef, indicted back in 2019 for her alleged role in a massive global financial scheme, is reportedly living in Israel. According to a Protos report, she even tried to register a U.S. trademark after the indictment. But perhaps the more baffling part is that her fertility tracking app, Embie Clinic, is still available for download. Right there on the Google Play store.
You’d think an app connected to a fugitive would be taken down. But it’s not just still there; it seems to be… active. The developers, or someone, responded to a user complaint as recently as June of this year. They even launched a new business-focused version of the app back in April. Though from the looks of it, that version hasn’t gained much traction.
An Apparent Lack of Urgency
You would assume U.S. authorities would be intensely interested in someone tied to $800 million in seized funds. The reality, however, feels different. Protos contacted multiple law enforcement agencies about Yosef’s case. The response, or lack thereof, was telling. Most weren’t familiar with the case at all, and none showed any interest in providing an update on her status.
It creates a weird disconnect. The case files are there, but the people who were prosecuting it have all moved on to private sector jobs. That kind of institutional turnover might explain why some cases just… lose momentum. We tried to get a comment from Embie Clinic last week, but, unsurprisingly, haven’t heard back.
Questions of Transparency and Trust
The whole thing takes a stranger turn when you look at Yosef’s own statements. She once said she “wants to be transparent,” claiming she moved abroad to afford fertility treatments. But her travel history shows extensive globetrotting—to Russia, England, Panama, and elsewhere—long before that.
And then there’s the app itself. Its Facebook page claims over 100,000 women have used it for cycle tracking and fertility advice. But the current user experience seems to tell a different story. The most recent reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Users report the app simply stopped working or, more distressingly, lost all their pregnancy data.
It’s unclear how many clinics actually partner with this service. The new B2B app has only been downloaded about ten times. It has no reviews. For an app that handles such sensitive, personal data, that silence speaks volumes. The entire situation just leaves you with more questions than answers.
