90 Day Fiance: Elizabeth Potthast Castravet Leaves Moldova Early
On 90 Day Fiance, Elizabeth Potthast Castravet was slowly warming to the idea of a life in Moldova. Especially after checking out some pretty affordable luxury rentals. But the dream implodes when Andrei Castravet reveals his investment property. And it’s literally a demolished inhabitable building. To make matters worse, the company who took the money for renovations has disappeared with all the cash.
While Elizabeth Potthast Castravet struggles to breathe in the condemned house, Chuck Potthast calls out Andrei. He’s got every excuse in the book from war to being ghosted by Russians. Elizabeth is livid. She knew nothing of the 75 grand going missing. And considers it a lie while Andrei tries to justify it as just a slight withholding of information. He is backed into a corner by Elizabeth and Chuck. And has nothing to show for it other than a crumbling heap of concrete.
Later back at the rental Elizabeth Potthast Castravet packs up her things on 90 Day Fiance. Andrei questions what she’s doing and she’s blunt. She changed her and the kid’s flights and is leaving Moldova with her dad in a few hours. Andrei asks her to take a minute and retrieves a pair of his underwear from the suitcase. She tells him they are going with or without him. Andrei stays behind and decides to give Elizabeth Potthast Castravet a break to cool off.
