The SEC has previously warned Nigerians against investing with the scam saying doing so would be at own risk as there is no legal recourse in event of the scam collapsing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>False Blockchain claims<\/h2>\n<p>The SEC\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sec.gov.ng\/re-activities-of-an-illegal-operator-ibsmartify-nigeria\/\">warning<\/a>\u00a0had been prompted by fears that Nigerians are falling victim to yet another giant scam that rides on the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies. Described as the \u201cWorld\u2019s First Charitable Trust DAO\u201d, the Inksnation masterminds claim they can \u201cend poverty in any country in less than 9 months (by) incentivizing goodness, promoting love and equitable distribution of wealth.\u201d On their website, the scammers offer a convoluted and sometimes confusing explanation of their operations and how the business generates revenues for investors.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the SEC warning, another organization, the Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (SIBAN), went as far as to label Inksnation\u2019s purported crypto coin, pinkoin a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OfficialSiban\/status\/1272776569443024897\">scam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>SIBAN says, \u201cInksnation is not on any blockchain\u201d while the scam\u2019s purported blockchain, the Inksledger \u201cis not public and may as well be inexistent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, it appears the warnings have not had the desired effect as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/ignorance-greed-sustain-cryptocurrency-scams-nigeria\/\">desperate<\/a>\u00a0Nigerians still flock to the scam. At the same time, the masterminds behind Inksnation seem unfazed by any possible legal consequences, as they are reported to have enlisted the services of a prominent Nigerian law firm, which specializes in blockchain and crypto law.<\/p>\n<p>Besides enlisting the services of the law firm, the creators of the scam have also tapped into the religious beliefs of potential victims. Enterprising scammers now exploit Nigeria\u2019s well-known background as a divided but deeply religious state to fend off scam allegations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in a letter addressed to his followers shortly after the SEC and SIBAN issued warnings, the founder and CEO of iBSmartify, the creators of Inksnation, Amos Sewanu Omotade-Sparks wrote:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the result of the SIBAN guys and we have been waiting for it. Fear not members and watch how Elohim JahGah will convert this to all-round blessings. They have helped us to get the attention of the government which we have been waiting for and we are so so so grateful.\u201d Elohim JahGah is the deity revered by Inksnation supporters.<\/p>\n<h2>Exploiting Legal Loopholes<\/h2>\n<p>Nevertheless, Omotade-Sparks, who also identifies himself as \u201cUniversal Daddy Inks (UDI)\u201d, still assures followers that the warning by the SEC is just \u201ca disclaimer.\u201d He says its \u201cthe same way they said about bitcoin that whoever trades with bitcoin does so at his own risk. It shall surely end in praise.\u201d Omotade-Sparks even sarcastically thanks SIBAN for \u201cfinally doing something that\u2019s meaningful for once.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So just how do the masterminds of Inksnation continue to sell the scam as well as maintaining the followership interested despite the negative public warnings?<\/p>\n<p>Similar to other large scale scams, Inksnation relies on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/the-onecoin-debacle-indictments-unsealed-2-dead-in-mexico-story-gets-darker\/\">promising unrealistic returns<\/a>\u00a0on any investment whether small or big. Scammers are well aware of the powerful lure of earning a lifetime passive \u201csalary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As explained on the Inksnation website, investors become eligible to receive a lifetime salary starting at $342 per month after subscribing for the bronze \u201cliving node.\u201d The bronze living node package, which requires a deposit of $3 (1000 Naira), which is cheapest while the \u201cdiamond living node\u201d requires an investment of $3,000 for one to be guaranteed a lifetime salary of $857.<\/p>\n<h2>Non-existent coin<\/h2>\n<p>Interestingly, all benefits are paid out in pinkoin, the scam\u2019s supposed reserve crypto coin that is valued at $17,556. According to Chiagozie Iwu, a CEO with Naijacryptos, a locally established cryptocurrency exchange, pinkoin is not listed on any exchange in Nigeria because \u201cit is neither a crypto coin nor has any ties to the blockchain.\u201d Many in Nigeria\u2019s blockchain space are adamant that ultimately, pinkoin has no value.<\/p>\n<p>Determined to counter and dispel any doubts about their activities, the masterminds have been posting videos on Twitter of real Nigerian recipients of the promised salaries. In one video, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IPinkoin\/status\/1306658177732300801\">man<\/a>\u00a0is seen brandishing wades of the Naira banknotes which he claims to be payment of his salary.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few more videos that follow the same routine but as Iwu explains, this is just typical of most Ponzi schemes. The first few investors \u201cwill receive some payouts\u201d and these \u201cwill defend the scam.\u201d However, the majority of the so-called \u201cdownlines\u201d will not get anything but by then it will be too late.<\/p>\n<p>With the SEC recently designating crypto assets as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/forex-strapped-nigeria-designates-crypto-assets-as-securities\/\">securities<\/a>, it would seem the legal loopholes that Inksnation and other scams have been using to defy the regulator are closed. It remains to be seen if Omotade-Sparks and his legal counsel will continue aggressively recruiting new members or the project is about to fade away.<\/p>\nAuthor: Daniel Ayara","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Nigeria\u2019s most brazen crypto scams, Inksnation remains operational and still invites new investors some three months after the country\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) deemed its activities illegal.
