Taye Adebisi, better known by his stage name Taye Currency, is a musician from Fuji who has taken aim at people who first exposed him to the Ponzi scheme run by Crypto Bridge Exchange, or CBEX.
Currency’s recent lamentations coincide with mounting fury over the demise of CBEX, which misled many Nigerians who were enticed by promises of huge profits through digital investment options, according to Naija News.
The singer stated that he lost ₦10 million to the Ponzi scheme, noting that the success of his associates in the scheme prompted him to invest in it.
He said, “On April 1, Sodiq came to my house and said Lateef, the brand manager, had collected some money and also introduced Alaba and Small London had also collected their money, and Brother Muca.
“Alaba used N1.2 million he stole from the stage to invest in CBEX. Brother Muca also put in his work fee of N500,000. Sodiq used the money he was saving in the band, N850,000. Lateef invested N1.4 million.
I became inspired when Lateef revealed that he had utilized N200k to acquire N600k. Seeing my life in the open, I took out the money I had saved with insurance. On April 1, I made a N10 million investment in CBEX, but everything disappeared.
“They won’t rest well if they die well because I was alone before you brought me to CBEX.”
