From news
source, i found photo of the burned house (in case anyone curious) :
At least it's not made with wood & grass
Lols, google labels the image as "ponzi scheme".
They can burn all town now, it will not make any improvement in fact that they are deceived ( at least most of them). Person who is behind this ponzi schemes is disappeared with money with the previous claim that he was hacked.
Wow...from the same link you provided:
Long queues form outside Bitcoin Wallet daily. The attraction is Bitcoin Wallet’s investment scheme that promises 100 percent returns on monetary deposits, from R100, in exactly 15 working days.
Owing to the popularity of the scheme, it no longer takes in amounts less than R5,000.
Owned and operated by a local man in his 30s who was a paramedic until recently, Sphelele “Sgumza” Mbatha, the investment scheme is reportedly taking more than R2 million in cash deposits on a daily basis.
First I thought this couldn't have been that successful for the scammer since in just 15 he days he would have to come with double the money just to pay the first wave and gain some publicity for being "legit" but man, a lot of possible investors down there.
For a 60k city with a median income of 500$ that's quite a lot.
I just hope they won't turn their pitchforks against anything bitcoin related from now on, I've seen cases like that in other countries where legit services were chased away just because somebody cheated the village before.
