Iqembu lobugebengu obuhleliwe elikhethekile ekudlulisweni kwemali yokukhwabanisa kanye nokukhwabanisa kwe-cryptocurrency, kufaka phakathi izikimu "zokuhlaba ingulube" kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali okukhohlisayo.
Abasolwa ababili bavalelwe ngemuva kokuthi uphenyo luqinisekise ukuxhumana kwabo ngqo nokukhwabanisa kwe-cryptocurrency. Omunye wabahlanganyeli wajoyina iqembu ngoSepthemba 2023 futhi ngoFebhuwari wonyaka ofanayo wadala ama-akhawunti wezokuxhumana amanga, lapho aheha khona izisulu ekukhwabaniseni kwezothando nokutshalwa kwezimali.
Abakhwabanisi bakhohlisa izisulu ekunikezeni imali enkulu, bethembisa ukubuyiswa okuphezulu kumapulatifomu e-cryptocurrency angekho njenge "Biconomynft." Esinye isisulu, isakhamuzi saseHo Chi Minh City, sasine-dong yaseVietnam engaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-17.6 (azungeze i-700,000 USD) eyebiwe.
Abakhohlisi balandela isikimu esifanayo: baqala bakhokha imali encane "njengembuyiselo" ukwakha ukwethembana, kodwa bese bevimbela ukufinyelela kwezimali ezitshaliwe.
