EFCC Recovers N1bn From Ponzi Scheme Suspects In Rivers by zakim(m): 8:33am On Sep 04, 2019
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Port Harcourt Zonal office, has recovered N1 billion from suspected Ponzi scheme fraudsters in the zone.

The head of the zonal office, Abdulrasheed Bawa, who disclosed this at a media briefing in Port Harcourt yesterday, said the commission recovered the said amount out of N2 billion the suspects collected from their victims.

He said men of the commission, after surveillance activities, arrested the suspects who, he said, promised their victims 10% monthly returns and payment of the principal after six months.

He said the suspects convinced their victims that they were into foreign exchange and crypto currency trading. Bawa also stated that the zone, in the last eight months, recorded 149 convictions, made N268,934,375.75, $2,012,568.00, and £15,000 recoveries while 162 cases are still pending in court.

Yawa dey O

EFCC just dey recover money Anyhow.

My question is this... All these money wey dem dey recover since.....in what ways have Nigerians benefited from the recovered looted money?

What and what do the government do with it?

Instead of the government to use the money to build more industries and employ the youths so as to reduce the level of unemployment in the country...they are busy paying senators **Hardship allowance and even Newspaper allowance"

Who did we actually offend in this country?

That one can make 10% in a month in FOREX doesn't make it a ponzi scheme. One can actually make over 60% in a month in FOREX if he is educated, skilled, disciplined and can curb his greed. Or does it mean that every business anyone must undertake must be less than 10% ROI before it can be regarded as legit?
Rubbish!

And what exactly makes this a Ponzi scheme? Return of 10% in a month, though high but not necessarily superfluous really. Forex and crupto can actually assure that if the trader is very well educated and experienced. The report never said the guys ran away or not. These reporters sef! Please make your reporting complete, detailed and unbiased always.
