I swear does forbes ever feature non sketchy people/scam artists. How does Forbes still have any credibility left

The Nigerian CEO scam. A new twist on a old classic.

The most surprising part of this story is that Softbank was not investing into Tingo.

Tingo definitely has the $400 million in assets, but it is being held in gold bars by a Nigerian prince who emailed me asking for help getting it out of the country. We're on it.

A Nigerian scam? No way.

As a Nigerian, I get so pissed at this con men that weaponize racism as a defense for their fraudulent behavior. “Perhaps if you were not Nigerian…”, how about perhaps if you had a legitimate business that could lead you to success, you would not meet roadblocks. Instead you chose to exhibit behaviors that keep us in suspicion in perpetuity. Not that I blame him alone, I wonder how hard it can be for wealthy investors to do their due diligence. You can go to Safari in Africa but you can’t pop down to Lagos for a quick meeting? ridiculous

Words I never uttered to myself, I need to invest in a Nigerian company named Tingo run by a guy named Dozy.

I about crapped myself when he was talking about the claimed balance of $461 million vs the actual balance of $50: "...that would usually be considered a substantial discrepancy." AHAHAHAHHAH

At this point, I’m starting to believe Forbes is part of the “fake it ‘til you make it” train

"As a company we do financial inclusion, as a company we do mobile, we do gender inclusion, we do food security [...]" Well, that certainly clears things up. Where do I sign?

Nigerian media houses have been calling out this scam for years! Former employees even made twitter threads about it, it was a running joke on Nigerian twitter Anybody that fell for this simply did not do their due diligence

If Hindenburg Research drops a paper on your Business, you know you’re in trouble. Shout out to Hindenburg for always bringing Scammy business to light.

honestly it is impressive to the degree in which the man was able to sell the lie

You could say this whole scenario has been quite a doozy

The worst part is there are probably thousands of people in his country with good ideas and entrepreneurial spirit who will never get a chance to have their business come to fruition. This man squandered what few will ever have.

This man will look us in the eye and give 10 minutes of well put together financial news/info and then just drop a huge sarcasm bomb and carry on like it didn't happen😂😂😂

Why isn't anyone asking the real question: how did DeLoitte sign off on the financials? I didn't hear mention of any legitimate business whatsoever. So what did they audit?

Hindenburg Research’ most groundbreaking exposure to date continues to be the appalling lack of due diligence performed by major shareholders and investors.

Never underestimate the son of a deceased Nigerian King.
