Scams in Kenya are too many. Conmen in the form of friends, family, and regular folk are taking Kenyans to cleaners. I suspect everyone in Kenya has been coned by a brother, sister, friend, coworker, uncle, or stranger. Most of us in the US are getting conned left, right, and center by family members. The solution is to start from distrust, followed by staggered verification and, finally, layered auditing before your send anyone money. Ten years ago, I applied that technique, and no one has been able to take our money kiolelaolela. Even on death matters, you have to send me documents, pictures, and concrete evidence for me to believe a Kenyan. Crypto, I don't touch it! I warned my sister years ago, and she saved 120K; she was about part with! Wewe Pundit, I know you have been coned by family or friends.

It hard to con me - I also have layers of trust - and what normally work - once I have comitted to send money - I pull a disappearing act for like few hours or a day - before the sending time - hapo ukweli yote utokea tu - they become desperate and start making mistakes - and you discover it was bull story. There are people I trust - my sisters - one or two uncles - one brother - my mum- such kind of people. Those I dont verify. The rest I verify - then use that last minute twist - and it always weed out the con.
Just pretend that your mpesa or account had issues or just go silent for few hours or a day...when you've accepted...conmen will lose patience and make mistakes...the ungrateful will start talking badly...only genuine cases will remain...they will remain respectful and patient through that ordeal...then you send them money.

Over the last two years the software-maker has shelled out $3.97 billion as it amassed nearly 130,000 Bitcoins.

READ: Crypto Debacle at Celsius Rattles Market Already Shaken by Terra
With Bitcoin plunging by as much as 17% to $22,603 on Monday after crypto lender Celsius Network Ltd. paused withdrawals, swaps and transfers on its platform, MicroStrategy’s holdings are now worth just over $3 billion. That puts the company’s Bitcoin related losses at nearly $1 billion.
MicroStrategy plunged 25% to $152.15 on Monday as part of broader route by cryptocurrency-exposed stocks. Shares of company have become highly correlated with Bitcoin since Saylor started adding the digital currency to its balance sheet in August 2020 as a hedge against inflation instead of holding cash in the corporate treasury.
The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company was worth $1.2 billion on Aug. 10, 2020, the day before it announced its foray into crypto. Saylor appeared to be unfazed with the latest Bitcoin drop, sending tweets over Twitter that seemed to signify his confidence in the strategy.

These scams are made and bred in the U of S. Your afro pessimism is ridiculous.
