In
the middle of spring, the creators of the South African crypto exchange faced
their first problem – the investment platform stopped working due to an alleged
hacker attack. The founders of Africrypt reported a hack in the system and
asked investors not to initiate legal proceedings in this regard, as it could
slow down the process of returning the stolen funds. By the way, some investors
still did not believe the founders of the crypto exchange and hired lawyers for
further investigation.
As
it turned out, Ameer Cajee and Raees Cajee lost access to the servers exactly a
week before the so-called "hacker attack". Investors' lawyers also
found that all the funds of the company were transferred from their users' accounts
and personal wallets, and those who carried out this procedure used bitcoin
mixers to make it impossible to track the further movement of funds.
Today
it became known that the founders of the crypto exchange disappeared along with
the personal investments amounting to $3.6 billion. The company's website is
down, and Ameer and Raees are not answering phone calls. A qualified law firm
contacted by investors decided to turn to the elite unit of the South African
National Police that promised to find the Cajee brothers as soon as possible.
Representatives of the state financial regulator of
South Africa also became interested in the activities of the crypto exchange,
but the agency cannot start an official full-scale investigation because
cryptocurrencies are not considered a financial product in the country.
However, if the Cajee brothers are not found, this case can become the biggest
cryptocurrency scam in the world.
