Investors in the South Africa-based Africrypt are seeking the arrest of Raees and Ameer Cajee. Attorneys for the disgruntled investors claim as much as $3.6 billion in digital assets may have disappeared. And say that the crypto bros may have pulled off the biggest Bitcoin theft in the history.
The group of 35 investors alleges the brothers ran a fraudulent cryptocurrency platform. And doubt there was hacking involved in the disappearance of the fund. They hired Sean Peirce, with Coast-to-Coast Special Investigations to investigate.
“They just went wild with other people’s money.’ Peirce claims.
“We are pushing for the brothers to be charged for fraud, theft, possibly money laundering,” said Peirce in an interview. “They can get 10 to 15 years for a first-time offense.”
“My clients want justice and have given us an unlimited budget to track them down. We are going to go to the ends of the earth to catch them and bring them to justice.”
Crypto bros create Africrypt
Brothers Raees Cajee, 21, and his 18-year Ameer known as the “crypto bros” founded Africrypt from their bedroom in 2019. It was set up as a fund that invested in crypto-tokens and bitcoins.
