‘Crypto Rug Pull’ Leaves ‘Hundreds’ of Central African Republic Investors ‘Penniless’ Police in the Central African Republic suspect a rug pull after the operators of a crypto firm “vanished overnight.” The news outlet RFI reported that the Research and Investigation Section (SRI) of the National Gendarmerie (the CAR’s police force)
have “launched an investigation” into the firm.
Prosecutors
have also launched a separate investigation into the firm, whose operators – investors say –
have disappeared without a trace, taking their money with them. The company is named
Clé du Succès (“key to success”).
Per an earlier report from
Radio Ndekeluka, the nation’s finance ministry confirmed
that the Clé du Succès company has registered with authorities and was this year issued with a tax identification number.
The firm reportedly gathered investment
from “hundreds” of CAR residents. Disgruntled investors were photographed outside an apparently abandoned
Clé du Succès office on October 11. Clé du Succès marketing material features coins emblazoned with the Bitcoin (BTC) logo.
