In a video by @timitrey on TikTok, the man showed himself at the building with two of his friends.
He noted that the building was located in the Egbeda axis of Lagos state.
Sharing his observations, he said:
“The ground floor is very empty. I think this building was bought and renovated, I guess. This is me coming in to check what was going on. Many invites are signing up, mostly adults of 40 and above. Chilled bottled water was served to us for free.
“What really convinced me to sign up was this EFCC registration anti-money laundry. I don’t know how genuine it is, and lagos State buisness registration for trades and investments.This convinced me the first time I came. Office location at Seliat bus stop, Idimu Egbeda Lagos.”

Cbex: A ponzi scheme or trading platform?
A man on Facebook who predicted the crash of the app claimed that Cbex, which posed as a digital assets platform, was a ponzi scheme.
Looking through the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), there is a list of digital assets trading companies, but Cbex was not seen there.
Also, a search of the name ‘Cbex’ on the SEC dedicated portal for investment operators did not yield any results. It is not clear if Cbex is a registered investment platform.
