Eye specialist Solomon Guramatunho was scammed of US$108,924 in a cryptocurrency deal by Lloyd Chiangwa.
Chiangwa was remanded in custody by a magistrate in Harare yesterday. The court heard that Guramatunho contacted Chiangwa, who was based in the UK at the time, and commissioned him to set up wallets and create passwords for them.
Chiyangwa transferred 122,467 Matic tokens worth $108,924.24 from Guramatunhu’s Metamask wallet to the Waybit Exchange. Guramatunhu then discovered that the tokens were missing when he intended to transfer them to another wallet.
Chiyangwa is suspected to have used his iPhone 15 mobile phone to make the transaction. Joramatonho reported the case to the police.
