EFCC Arraigns Businessman For N50m Bitcoin Fraud by Mrsoundoro(m): 7:20am On May 02, 2019 |
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Kaduna Zonal Office has arraigned one Joseph Adigizi Anthony before Justice Mallong Peter of the Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna, Kaduna State for a N50 million fraud. His journey to the dock began when the Kaduna office of the EFCC received a petition alleging that he defrauded members of the public using a business proposal, in which he lured them to invest in Bitcoin through a platform called Bitworld Centre. He promised them good returns on their investment. A petitioner had alleged that she sold her properties and collected loan from a Microfinance Bank to raise the sum of N1,739,000 (One Million Seven Hundred and Thirty Nine Thousand Naira), which the defendant directed her to pay into his personal bank accounts. She later discovered that the business was a fraud. However, efforts to recover her money proved abortive. He was on April 30, 2019 charged with a five-count charge. One of the counts reads: "That you, Joseph Adigizi Anthony, sometimes in 2018 at Kaduna within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did with intent to defraud through your personal Guaranty Trust Bank and Access Bank accounts over N50,000,000 (Fifty Million Naira) credit turnover as collective investment deposits from one Salome Ambi Mamman and other members of the public by falsely accepting deposits for an unregister business venture with the Security and Exchange Commission of Nigeria called "BITWORLD" using financial proposal documents serving as a "Trainer Bitclub Advantage" and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offence Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the Same Act." He pleaded "not guilty" to the charges. Prosecuting counsel, S.H. Sa'ad urged the court to fix a date for the commencement of trial while he prayed the defendant be remanded in prison. "We are ready to commence with the trial, and we have two witnesses already in court," Sa'ad said. Source: http://www.ngg.ng/2019/05/02/efcc-arraigns-businessman-for-n50m-bitcoin-fraud/ 1 Share

They will just convinct this man for nothing. Bitcoin prices fell, not his fault. Many people thought that prices will keep rising forever. It didn’t and like everyone, you have to accept your loss. 43 Likes 3 Shares |
