I have never ever liked Crypto.
A lot of bad deals can be done through it ranging from ;

Fraud
Drug deals
Kidnapping ransom
Politicians stealing
Hacking

To all those that believed Crypto can’t be traced,hope una eyes don clear?

Just imagine you buy bitcoin from some and not knowing the coin we’re gotten from illicit deals.
They trace it and seize your innocent funds.

There is this statement coming in the mouth of Crytpo invest that I dislike so much.
“Don’t invest the amount you can’t afford to lose”
Who invest in biz and look forward to lose?

An investment with not regulatory body to monitor it.
Elon could just wake up tomorrow morning and tweet gibberish.Bitcoin will just fall or rise.

Oya,make una go buy the dipppppppppppp!
you're naive grin

The action represents the Justice Department’s largest-ever financial seizure, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said, adding in a statement that it shows cryptocurrency is “not a safe haven for criminals."
Hope our incompetent financial crime commission would stop making cryptocurrency look like is made for criminals.

Crypto can not be easily traced if you know the know. They tracked the couples I.P to the bitcoin wallet through the internet provider and began to monitor them. They were not smart enough to use a public or scrambled internet. They also failed to keep their fortune (the bitcoins) in a hard wallet like the Ledger Nano. You don't do such transaction on your personal phone or computer. Every phone or computer bought is a potential spy gadget from the government through the manufacturer.

The biggest cyber criminals are not Nigerians.

But the western media derives some kind of satisfaction by labeling Nigerians and other Africans as scammers.

Criminality is not tied to any nation, tribe or religion. It’s the universal language of all men of easy virtue.

No matter how long it takes all criminals will come to justice one way or the other.
You're right. In terms of dollar value, we are not the biggest. The issue is that in terms of scammers per capita - if there's anything like that - we are high up there. It's like they have 10 criminals doing a billion and we have a few thousand moving a few hundred million dollars. Not the actual figure but you get the gist.

Nigerians are the loudest and why we so popular in the game. How many Chinese, Indian or Russian scammer have you seen parading stolen wealth?

We not the baddest in any game, we just too loud!

That was in 2016 when crypto exchange platforms has relatively very low security, it happens after mtgox hack in Japan in 2014, but nowadays, it’s not easy to hack crypto exchanges again because of advancement in cyber security.
