Kenyan businessman just got rinsed for ~$800k in stablecoins. Classic setup: accused rolled in with a "British crypto expert" promising seamless currency conversions during Kenya's 2023 dollar crunch.
This case exposes how desperate liquidity conditions create prime hunting grounds for scammers. When fiat rails break, degen solutions get pitched to tradfi guys who don't know the difference between a cold wallet and a Ponzi.
Risk management 101: If someone's selling you "expert stablecoin conversion" during a currency crisis, you're the exit liquidity.
Kenyan regulators now scrambling. Too late for this guy's $800k.
