So I saw #ShareYourForexStory is trending and Oh boy, do I have a story. 2019 was my lowest year financially and I needed to make quick wins and gains before we starved(Had 2 kids already). There was this scheme in Ibadan that claimed to pay 40% ROI for 6 months...see ehn

I had stalled and watched my friends cash in returns and I felt like I was losing time. The same friends I told about it so we could research had made their money back by the third month while research was doing me...."gbogbo wa Lama je breakfast" abi? These ones were on Dinner
So I gathered money from selling my car and taking a loan cos with my calculations, I'd have returned their money by month 3 and still have 3 months of ROI to play with. I has asked what they were investing in, they said Forex, real estate and lending to bigger companies.
See ehn, *sobs* I sha *sobs* put all money inside o! The first month ended....shebi I should have collected my interest, as Mr Adu taught me Compound interest, I asked them to add it to my capital and I did same for the second month. I had started pricing cars and natives to wear
In fact, one week I had 4 tailors come measure me all the way in Ikorodu(Ogijo oooo) as my money was coming! My other friend....A Gen Z that just got inheritance money had put 30million naira in without telling me, babe has been collecting 10m a month without me knowing,
By the time kasala would boxx ehn, I had just collected the initial capital with a little flex money as extra and paid back the loan and brought groceries from ShopRite(Ikeja to Ikorodu o), a friend just called me that the owner of the company has been missing...dem kidnap am?
"Egbon e be like say him run ni" Run bawo? Business was good, he just completed his mansion and I was just paid naa, "Let's take this matter seriously o, Kidnapping is on the rise....why would they do this to this young man", then I couldn't sleep and thinking "what if....?"
Next morning, I called my friend and he was like "Egbon...."...."Tani egbon e", it's like umfortunation is worrying all of you abi? First started with denial, then acceptance, then violence, then calmness, then begging before accepting your fate....I witnessed all 6 in 2 weeks
So while everyone was doing dirty December that year, I was in the mud,....mo moun ojumitiri(I had seen things), shebi mine was better, Gen Z was threatening law suit and herbalists, I was just laughing at her naivety. If you like hire hired assassin, that man was gone!
It's not been all bad news tho, I picked up interest and learnt to trade myself with @TigerWitAfrica and yes, I have blown my account(see ehn..the head that will chop knuckle) but I've learnt to curb my greed and set stop losses and I've made serious money especially trading gold
I still remember the company sometimes and just brush it aside, last I heard, they were in court. Gen Z is still trying to pick up herself from the heavy losses but she's fine sha. Well here's my story, care to #ShareYourForexStory ?

#SEALTeam6 Trump re-tweeted this.
The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
