FNB, which banked Africrypt according to documents seen by Independent Media's investigations unit, allegedly enabled the investment company's transactions, although the bank has vehemently denied this.

“FNB once again confirms that it does not have a banking relationship with Africrypt. Due to client confidentiality, FNB cannot provide any information on specific bank accounts,” Maharaj said.

Translation: the scammers likely used banks accounts in their own name with FNB instead of "Africrypt", gotta say it would be hilarious if FNB, who booted legitimate crypto businesses off its client list, ends up facilitating an actual crypto scam instead :ROFL:

Research research research, always the first thing but it seems many victims here started researching and consulting experts after they have already invested.

Africrypt ‘hack’ of nearly R54bn dwarfs Mirror Trading

The founders of the company, Raees and Ameer Cajee, have reportedly disappeared to the UK – while investigators say the ‘hack’ reeks of something more sinister.

I highly doubt that they got away with that much. They're not MTI.

Most of us only heard of them the other day so they weren't exactly punting their business in terms of advertising like Cheri did for MTI.

With MTI we knew from the start that it's a scam because they were advertising these ridiculous claims all the time.
 
Hard to feel sorry for anyone who lost money on this. If it is too good to be true, it probably is. That right there is as old as time itself. You cannot claim to have never heard that saying 100 times and yet you still choose to throw money at OBVIOUS scams. Enjoy being poor?

It doesn't matter how much research tech dumb people do into crypto. They will still not understand how blockchain works and will believe anything if they want it to be true.

I have some of these dimwits in my family with masters degrees, but they simply can not understand tech related stuff and are now investing in a crypt ponzi scheme and going to lose money because buying crypto on an exchange is too much hassle and complicated.

No sympathy for people who's greed outweighs their common sense...

This perception is what really causes the problem. You don't need to understand bitcoin's white paper or what a hash rate is to make an account on luno and buy crypto yourself. These scammers are using the hype around cryptos as an excuse to prey on people who perceive it as some sort of 'hacker money' that you need to be a tech genius to buy.

So they left sa for the uk, under a global pandemic situation. I would expect them to be under hotel quarantine, should be relatively easy to find them, and still traceable after they left the hotel. Does the uk even allow non-residents to enter from south africa, how did they get into the country?

Website Development Assistance

Hey everyone I'm currently developing my website with wordpress , my goal is to run a online store in the near future but for now i'm practicing with a blog advertising my "services". I need some positive criticism on the design , layout and content of my website thus far. I would really...

The least that people can do is to investigate the people with whom they plan to invest their money. How hard can that be.

@saor had him figured out.
 
I can’t for the life of me, figure out how much stupid it would take to ‘invest’ in such a blatantly obvious scam.

One of the fools I spoke to on Telegram claimed to have ‘invested’ R80m of his clients money into Africrypt. He runs a wealth creation firm as well and claimed he makes 30% per month for his clients lol. So looks like the bigger scammer caught the smaller one in his case.

As far as I’m concerned, anyone claiming to guarantee more than 12-15% per annum for their clients are blatant scammers. And there is no shortage of dumb asses to give them money.

I fear that one or more of their family members will end up getting K&R’d over this. Word is, they stole money from a lot of shady people.

Worse, is that even though they were able to rip-off hundreds of millions in USD from big outfits, they still went after the little guys money, even their own family and friends.

These scum bags will have to run for the rest of their lives, and will never have another peaceful nights sleep. They have to be paranoid every time they step out or interact with anyone. Even when hiring private security, they’d have to be paranoid that they might turn on them.

Even with that amount of money, they will still get caught. “They have no life experience” according to their ex-attorney.

Gonna be interesting to see how this unfolds

CBI - Uhuru - are they planning an exit? Coenie had a zoom call last night where he is most certainly preparing the family members.
mentioned how he does not hold any of the members funds - scared for a liquidation application?

Also heard a birdie from the FSCA is quite busy doing an investigation on CBI

Mentioned new bank accounts being opened in Namibia - Well that's a great plan Oom Coenie - open a bank account in Namibia where it is Crypto is illegal. So basically Oom Coenie is running an exchange - You deposit fiat into his South African Standard bank account in exchange for Uhuru shitcoins.

Don't think the investors will have any recourse when the accounts are moved to Namibia - Perhaps it is Coenie's way of keeping as much funds as possible for himself.

Barend Coenraad Nolte Botha - already sequestrated once before in Namibia - and don't forget about the corruption allegations!
