2 Nigerians In Trouble In US Over Bitcoin Scam
Two Nigerians are in trouble in the United States after being indicted by prosecutors for running a fraudulent bitcoin investment scheme.
The Nigerians, Onwuemerie Ogor Gift and Kelvin Usifoh, were charged by Oregon District Attorney’s Office with 11 counts of wire fraud, as well as conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering, according to a report.
From December 2017 to June 2018, Gift and Usifoh allegedly promoted the fake bitcoin investment scheme via three websites – wealthcurrency.com, boomcurrency.com and merrycurrency.com – promising investors 20–50 percent risk-free returns with instant withdrawals.
