Can anyone backup those revenue numbers from past experience? Curiously, the application name was not posted. I don't want to call bullsh*t, but if the claims could be verified, the discussion can move on to how to actually deal with the situation. I believe there are Facebook employees on HN, would it be possible to bring this matter to the attention of the concerned people, if the claims turn out to be valid?

And not just bring attention to this case but to make sure that there is actually some support. I can't believe how Facebook can have business relations with someone on the order of magnitude of $100k a month and there isn't a single person at Facebook he can contact.

I believe the application name appears in this message mentioned in the reddit post? http://i.imgur.com/KHM2KE1.png http://i.imgur.com/KHM2KE1.png It appears in Cyrillic.

  It means "content", I don't think it's the name of the app.

  The developer mentions he/she lives in Ukraine.

  Isn't Ukrainian currency still called hryvnia?

  no he said it was USD

    The original person (tihonovova) never said "USD". What you saw was someone else's (TheWhiteKnight's) comment on reddit. However, the original person did use the symbol "$" and his Facebook screenshots used "$". So I do agree with you that he and Facebook do mean US dollars. If it were Ukrainian currency, it would have said ₴160,000 or UAH160,000. Can someone from the Ukraine confirm that you would never write $160,000 if you actually meant Ukrainian hryvni? EDIT: Oops, sorry, you are correct, he did say it. His comment was in a collapsed reddit thread that I didn't see.

  Ukraine does not use dollars. Their currency is called Hrywnia. This is about 1600000 USD.

He posted the app name, but then removed it on the advice of other commentors in order to avoid the appearance of promoting his app.
