Good News: There is Hope For CBEX Investors As New Information From Interpol Emerges

 EFCC, Interpol Launch Probe into Alleged $847m CBEX Scam

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has partnered with the International Police

Organization (Interpol) to investigate the alleged $847 million fraud linked to CryptoBank Exchange (CBEX), a digital investment platform.

According to sources, CBEX promised investors 100% returns within 30 days but restricted withdrawals and eventually collapsed, leaving thousands of investors stranded. The platform, operated by foreign nationals with Nigerian partners, is believed to have duped investors of approximately $847 million in USDT.

The EFCC has commenced probing the platform and arresting local operators. The commission is working to track down the masterminds behind the alleged scam and recover the stolen funds.

"We are committed to protecting Nigerians from financial scams and ensuring that those behind these schemes are brought to justice," said an EFCC spokesperson.

The CBEX collapse has sparked widespread outrage, with investors storming and looting CBEX offices in Ibadan. Offices in Lagos and Abuja were found shut and deserted.

The EFCC has warned Nigerians to exercise caution and verify investment opportunities with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before committing funds.

The investigation is ongoing, and the EFCC is working to uncover other potential Ponzi schemes in the country. The commission urges anyone with information about CBEX or similar schemes to come forward.

As the probe continues, investors are left counting their losses and hoping for a refund. The EFCC's partnership with Interpol is seen as a significant step towards tackling financial crimes in Nigeria.
