Nigerians on several social media platforms have begun to count their losses as a digital asset trading platform popularly known as CBEX reportedly swept over N1.3 trillion from their investors\u2019 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digital trading platform crashed on Monday after the money in their investors\u2019 wallets vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBEX also locked its telegram channels and postponed its withdrawals while giving investors the lifeline of $2,000 for $200 verification and $1,000 for $100 verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five Things To Know About This Platform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Alleged Ponzi Scheme: CBEX, a digital trading platform, promised investors a 100% return on investment within 30 days.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Massive Financial Losses: Investors have reportedly lost over $847 million (\u20a61.3 trillion). Many accounts were wiped clean, leaving users with zero balances.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Withdrawal Restrictions: CBEX administrators introduced a controversial “verification fee” system, requiring additional deposits of $100 or $200 to access funds. Critics have labeled this a final attempt to extract more money from investors.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Public Outcry and Looting: Frustrated investors have taken to social media to express their losses. In some cases, angry mobs looted CBEX offices in Ibadan, carting away furniture and equipment.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Regulatory Warnings: Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has warned against unregistered trading platforms like CBEX, emphasizing the risks of investing in schemes that promise unrealistic returns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Here is how victims of this scheme can recover their money:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Report to Authorities: Victims should file complaints with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or the Nigerian Police. Providing detailed evidence, such as transaction records, can help authorities investigate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Legal Action: Victims can join forces to file a class-action lawsuit against CBEX’s operators. Engaging a lawyer experienced in financial fraud cases is crucial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
