Weeks after suddenly shutting down and absconding with hundreds of thousands of dollars from unsuspecting Nigerian investors, the fr@udulent digital financial platform Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX) has resumed operations nationwide.
Investors revealed that the scheme’s operators have urged them to log back into their accounts to recover their lost investments. “Someone told me to check my CBEX account this morning, claiming our balances had been restored,” one investor told Peoples Gazette, sharing a screenshot of the supposedly returned funds.
However, the Ponzi scheme has imposed a new condition: investors must pay $200 to reactivate their accounts before withdrawing their money.
