I don’t think they are criminals,they are just one of those Nigerians that send dollar in black market rate to nigeria from the comfort of their apartment
Most Nigerians abroad now use them because of the better rate but the bad thing is,they can be arrested and prosecuted since majority of them are not registered
Only learner still use western union or money gram to send money home,majority use these type of people

babzo:
This story is really inaccurate.

Neither of these two guys were accused of stealing or fraud, but rather not stopping fraudsters? But why has the same system not sent the CEO of Western Union and Moneygram to jail?

Why jail them? Why not fines? Do bank owners or managers get jailed because fraudsters keep money in their banks?.why havnt the managers of Western Union and Moneygram being jailed since all these years?

The story is 100% wrong. Neither of these two men stole any money. I know many grateful Nigerians who used Ping Express to support their loved ones in Nigeria to the anger of the Big 2 ( Western Union and Moneygram). How can you jail a bank MD because fraudsters have accounts with the bank? Something is seriously wrong here. Why have the MDs of Western Union and Moneygram not been jailed for all the billions have fraudsters have sent through their companies? Oh I forgot those are not immigrant owned businesses. Worst case they will be given a fine.

All the people who used Ping Express never gave a dime in cash to the company, they sent the money using their bank debit cards. So why have the managers of the banks from where the money came from not being charged?

People will think this is $167 million cash somewhere?.

Nope. This is $50, $100, $200 here and there from 30,000 customers over 5 years. I myself sometimes sent $15 and sometimes $300 or more.

The allegations is on the $1 million sent by a Fraudster, Collins over a 3 year period.

But the banks where the monies came from to Ping Express are not being questioned.
This is a company I used for years and people I knew personally.

They followed every rule.

I know the stress I went through to get verified before using their services; license, phone call etc, things I never had to do with Western Union.

They are not accused of fraud, but rather not stopping fraudsters.

When will the CEO of Moneygram and Western Union that Yahoo Boys have been using for over 20 years to send money, be arrested and jailed? NEVER.

Western Union and Moneygram have lost probably billions in the last few Years with the arrival of companies like Ping Express that made sending money to Africa not only faster, but cheaper, direct to bank accounts and 24/7.

Western Union that used to be only available during banking hours.

Everything you said makes sense. Where they failed was their KYC system. It lwtt them vulnerable. If they had a good KYC in place, it won't stop fraud but will absolve them of blame. The big boys have such in place. You know who sent and why and who received, where and when.
Ping was just....ping.
The issue with Nigerian Fintech is that if you subject it to stress and vulnerability test,you will run with your money.

Sad that they had to bear the brunt of a system waiting for them to fail anyway.

People will think this is $167 million cash somewhere. No $167 million anywhere. That's the total of funds they legitimately sent on behalf of people.

$50, $100, $200 here and there from 30,000 customers over 5 years. I myself sometimes sent $15 and sometimes $300 or more.

The allegations is on the $1 million + sent by a Fraudster, Collins over a 3 year period. If Ping Express had not verified their customers properly; how would they have been able to track the Collins guy? But Ping did proper verification for all customers.

But the banks where the monies came from to Ping Express are not being questioned.
This is a company I used for years and people came to know.

They are not accused of fraud, but rather not stopping fraudsters. Then why jail time? To kill their business finally?

Western Union that used to be only available during banking hours. They changed quickly when Ping Express and the new guys positively disrupted the system.

This is really unfortunate.

Maybe you should go send them, the western union and moneygram to jail since you know more than them

Bro, this thing is not rocket science. I wish the Ping guys had consulted me.
