    Dozy Mmobuosi, the founder and CEO of Tingo Mobile has been accused by US Regulators of running a "staggering fraud."
    Tingo Mobile claimed to provide mobile phones to rural farmers in Nigeria and build a fintech super app. It quickly grew into a multibillion-dollar empire with a listing on New York’s Nasdaq stock exchange.
    Dr Dozy, the London-based tycoon attempted to buy the Premier League football team Sheffield United but struggled to prove his financial resources.
    It turns out that Mmobuosi’s businesses, as they were commonly understood, may never have existed.
    The SEC has accused the Nigerian businessman Mmobuosi Odogwu Banye - of perpetrating an ongoing fraud of “staggering” proportions.

Blame your western media who do not cover real African companies doing real stuff but featuring fraudulent quick cash out schemes. That is your problem not ours. Tell your western faux journalists to learn how to do their jobs. Also no one refers to SBF scam as the ‘American CEO scam’ 🙄🙄 Cheers.

    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.

    Exceptional analysis as always, Patrick. Nobody asked why they hadn’t met any farmers? Why a Nigerian startup was being audited by an Israeli firm when every major global auditor has offices in Nigeria and broadly in Africa? Why the UK Home Secretary’s cousin (a barrister who focuses in white collar crime, conveniently) was somehow the chairman of a company whose operations he could never explain? More people were in on this fraud than will be prosecuted.

    22:41 I just had to go check out the article. I especially liked the mix of accusing people of racism and then throwing in some irrelevant detail that strongly reeks of antisemitism in: "The instigator of this unwanted hatred is the founder of the Hindenburg Report, Nathan Anderson, a Jewish Wall Street insider"

    I always ask when I see stories like this , "what's the end game?" Do the fraudsters think no one would find out. The crazy thing is that there are legit startups out there that can't get funding, but the fakes keeps getting paid. The world is unfair. These guys keeps making life difficult for the majority of legit startups in Nigeria actually doing some good.

      Ground news is awesome. Every time I see some bs RUclips video on some serious news I can just go to the app and check the claims validity for free. It’s the only time I’ve checked out a sponsorship but it’s definitely a public good.
