"Oh no!!! We've been 'hacked'!! So sorry all your money is gone bye bye please don't ask questions or investigate too hard it was the HACKERS"

The moment I read that the CEO founded this whole business at the age of 13, it instantly triggers a redflag. Every entitlement of being an underage "prodigy" involving activities such as gambling, crypto or investment/stocks, that is always a warning for incoming scams, disasters and schemes.

@8:07 That's what I like to call the "take your money & run" clause. It's basically 1 of the biggest signs of a scam. It's also a good example of why you should read the White Paper of these things in-depth with a lawyer.

I'm from SA, trust me nothing will happen. Pay the right people and you're untouchable.

You should check a case in Brazil where something very similar happened. My town was briefly known as Egypt because of a pyramid scheme exactly like this one and the dude was kown as the "Pharaoh of Bitcoin", the company was known as GAS. The operation moved around 7 billion dollars for over 10 years and when the police arrested them they got 591 bitcoins and around 46 million dollars.

69000 bitcoin? That probably would have only been enough to buy a couple of pizzas when BTC first appeared. Now that would be enough to buy a worldwide pizza chain.

People in crypto getting scammed. One of the few million times it’s happened

Every day that I don't start an NFT/crypto scam, I know that I can say I do my best to be a good person.

I like how decentralised stuff loves centralising in banks.

These guys played everyone and lived to see another day. They're probably set for the rest of their lives so long as they stay under the radar and don't attract any attention.

How do people hear 'guaranteed returns' and not immediately feel skeptical? That's like saying you bat 1000. It doesn't happen. No one ALWAYS makes money, not one only picks winners, it's just not possible.

So many red flags that's impossible not to think the brothers did it again! The hacking clause was an alibi carefully premiditaded to get them off the hook once the money disappear. But ppl are quite gullible for investing that kind of money without reading the contract properly! Hope they will learn something with this bad experience!

This is what happens when you don't bless the rains down in Africoin

Kinda staggering how many red flags there were beforehand about this being the mother of all rug pulls.

I always enjoy when you upload even if i know the story as you tell it so well and always bring up some part i didnt know :3

I'm certain there was no hack, that the brothers played it out, the payout would be at least $200M as they claimed, nobody will get arrested and people will keep falling for these scams

Always nice to see my country discussed on RU-vid :')

Cryptobros falling for scams and losing everything 😌 A tale more engaging every time than anything Disney has made in a decade

Excuse me if my only reaction to crypto idiots losing millions of dollars in yet another crypto scam is that gif of JK Simmons laughing hysterically from Spider-Man 1.

i grew up in ye olde Yew York in the 1900s, if you owed people and they couldnt find you, theyd find ya family. siblings, cousins, your mother. someone knew where you were and people werent shy about going to ya grams house to get the money from her

always greatly enjoy your vids! :) thanks for posting!

ofc it didnt happen, hacks are excuses to take the money.

"Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products."

Great Video Kira, great info, great editing

Fleeing from the country is definitely something an innocent person does.

Can you cover the James ‘Jimmy’ Zhong story? I think it's right up your alley. You are a fantastic creator, thank you for all your hard work.

They stole it all, ran off and have spent more than half on stupid expenses. They’ll be dead or broke in 5 years

Got em' with the ol' Nigerian Ai Prince

All these scammers going unpunished is truly disgusting.

Love these videos, not the crypto side just the format and interesting stories are so great! Quick note, the math for 4:10 or so - "10% each month" would work out to be 3 times the investment in a year, 1.1^12

One "miner" problem

Happy to see you taking all these different sponsorships bro. You make great videos you deserve to get a bag for it lol

Are yo going to do a video on Thodex?

On the one hand, how dare the brothers pull this. On the other hand, people dumb enough to invest in a company founded by a 13 year old and offering too-good-to-be-true terms probably deserves to lose some money.

You mean the call was coming from inside the house?! What a shocker...not! Crypto has once again proven itself as a premiere IQ test.

Ngl your sponsors have been spot on

Cajee has wares if you have coin

being paid back 65% of what you lost in a Crypto currency scam seems like a win for me, usually these people are left with empty hands.

Finally! A kira upload

3:15 Nothing says trustworthy like text to speech ads.

For me, the biggest takeaway was, that Ben McKenzie of "The O.C." and "Gotham" is a book co-author now.

They look like andrew tate and tristan tate

Perfect timing on a long Thursday evening mate. 👌🏻

I smelled rugpull from the title alone... sad.

69,000, Nice.

10% monthly growtg isn't annual doubling, it's annual tripling.

Again, no ADs..me happy! Good video though

The more I hear these kind of stories about cryptocurrency and bitcoin, the more I am surprised why people still invest in these mediums despite the history of scams and theft. I guess people are so desperate to get rich quick they'll try anything once.

losing 69000 bitcoins? nice.

funny how it _always_ takes only one look at the founders of such projects to instantly know this is a scam

What is amazing is just how stupid and guilible people are given they keep buying into these schemes, they just don't learn, sad people

Good thing the customers signed that no responsibility for hacks clause so the brothers can get the stolen BTC back to them after their sleuths chase down the bad guys. Go African Brothers, Go !!! Great customer service rt there folks. They are even shutting down work to go find their customers cheddar. Now that's selfless people. Where can I invest? Lmk whenever they start a new company.

Wow, its a sad history, but that its a hard lesson to know about the cripto scan projects, are several in the world.

Was surprised to see Ben McKenzie in the video. Up until then I only knew him as an actor, didn't know he was also a cryptocritic.

It IS the future of finance, their finance.

I've seen a lot of posts and comments about middle east scammers. I realize this is south Africa in location. But originally they appear middle eastern. Why is this a prevailing thought in crypto?

This wasn’t in my subscriptions. 😤😤😤 why RU-vid

They could arrest them if they wanted to 🙊..

Kira,Philion,Thinker,Crumb and Mavericks are my favourite channels ❤❤

The clue was in the name

There has never been and will never be anything like KiraTV again Brilliant job with all your videos

I feel no sympathy for anyone who lost their money or even savings in anything remotely related to this.

Quite possibly the most not "NICE" loss in investment history

The animated pitch looks and sounds like the one John Hammond showed at the beginning of Jurassic Park.

There is such a thing as guaranteed ROI in the usa and canada. Its just a very very slow return. IULs

Another case of hype it till you burst it

Why would you store your money in such a company in the first place? Greed. I don't see no harm being done

Come to think of it, this may have been how my uncle vanished in the city with 250k and lost it in months, came back defeated.

Nice thousand bitcoin?!

I got no sympathy for people that put all there money in crypto and then lose it all lol get rich quick never ends well

CORRECTION: The claimant’s settlement offer 65c to the RAND, that’s about 0,03 United States Dollars… Much much less…

the future of money has the future of scamming too sadly

I'm no expert, but I thought bitcoin transactions were completely transparent, and there is no way you could sell a stolen bitcoin without being caught.

These people think they're as legit as RazzleKhan, the queen of rap.

These guys need to be put away for life, along with FTX

there's two dislike on this video meaning...

Ahhh they were Indian. Makes sense. I knew they were not native South Africans 🙊. A lot of the IT scam stuff comes out of India 🤔💭. Blacks Africans we are not the best in IT. I am South African. Kudos to them for being smart. Sorry the investors lost their funds.

Yeah but thats you get with digital money!!! DM shouldnt be taken that seriously... of course its not safe!!! We should kinda move away from it. Not to it...

Al Gore rhythmic trading? That’s a new one on me.

Ban crypto

It was me, I took their money. I really wanted that PS5.

The whole part about “Bitcoin being untraceable” reminds me of something funny: back in 2017, a Mexican RU-vidr was found guilty of kidnapping and sentenced to 50 years in jail. He and his buddies were notorious because they demanded the ransom to be paid in BTC, supposedly because they didn’t want to be caught. Clearly not understanding how a blockchain works, and that their ass would be traced the moment they turned that BTC into pesos at any exchange. The funniest part is that this RU-vidr was your typical entrepreneur/hustleporn/grindset guru, whose channel consisted of the most basic “millionaire mindset” speeches and content. Rented limo and everything. And he was arrested and sentenced so quickly that his videos are still up. And people are just destroying that fucker in the comments 😂

What are they thinking, like they're DB Cooper or something? The Interpol clearly knows their name, what they look like, and will slowly but surely bring them to justice. Why do this in the first place bruh, lol.

Most hacks in crypto world a part of it is inside job .. 😂

HOW CAN YOU LOSE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST. ???

Where is Tanzaynia?

Maybe the hack never happened, but this video happened!

KiraTv you’ve absolutely smashed my his format of video. Respect bro ✌️

notable miners

That is nothing wait until People find out BTC has been passing off as bitcoin.

are there any "crypto bros" who arent criminals? i am beginning to doubt...

obvi the brothers; it’s a classic case

Ahahahahaha the mysterious company coming out and like heyyyyy mannnnnnnnnnn..... noooo reason but you think you can drop those charges if I give you a little over half of what I stole from y... I mean... money....

What a series of coincidences and misfortunes

This is ridiculous a fool and his money are soon parted

4:05 10% ROI per month wouldn't just be +120% p.a., but +214% p.a., not that either number was real lol

You know what would be nice, is if schools taught scam avoidance.

Im sorry but i have a really hard time feeling sorry for people who don't bother to do basic research before "investing".

insider bro-job for sure
