Question for everyone from Bangladesh

[IamNRE]

Hi guys, I wanna ask you something regarding crypto on Bangladesh.

I invested some money with a guy from Bangladesh a year back....

But during that time Bangladesh had a revolution and change of people in power.


My question is... Before, during or after the revolution did the government or the elite or hackers etc. confiscate or steal money from crypto currencies through a local exchange people were using in Bangladesh?

The guy I was doing JV with says he had changed the USDT to Bangladeshi Taka and then the local exchange platform got hacked or the elite stole the money...

Is this true or is he blowing smoke up my butt.

Thank you.

I haven't heard of anything like that happening. Could be he's just trying to cover his tracks.

Bangaladesh did undergo a situation of massive unrest. But do you think the crypto community wouldn't have noticed if a supposed "major local exchange" simply had their money stolen?

Ask him for the name of the exchange? Where is the police report? Email Trails of his correspondence with the exchange about this supposed "lost money"?

You seem to have been taken for a ride, my friend. I am sorry.

On a semi-related note, there was a member on this forum who approached me about a "very trusted dude" from the south-east Asian region. I won't name the country.

The deal was, the dude would get him a laptop, pay an advance on the rent for a small studio office and a small salary. In return, he would get a VA who would dedicate 10 hours everyday and basically "take away" all his worries.

The BHW member had a cost-sheet on how even this would be infinitely cheaper than hiring someone locally.

I saw red flags and immediately warned him. He kept finding new ways to ask the same question, I kept dissuading him.

Finally, he found someone else who agreed with him that it was a fantastic idea.

I still have the Skype message from him, sheepishly accepting how he fucked up. The guy took the laptop, never got any office, extracted exaggerated "refundable deposits" through forged paperwork scans, took a decent retainer under the excuse of "dropping all his other clients". And basically ghosted him.

My co-worker from bangladesh also "steal" 600$ in that time

I don't really know if he steal it, i transfert him 600$ to transfert to another guy on payonner, he said he had issue and give account to rich guy of village for he manage, but the guy leave in that time, because of what was happening, and never refund the 600$.

Still don't know if the true or if he lie too, but situation was looking very bad there.

Interesting. That was my gut feeling too.

This.

That would explain the weird smell coming out of my butt.

Allegedly... The country is still unstable ... When government got shut down, basically everything got shut down too... Including police.

I'll ask him to give the name of the local exchange. If I get it, I'll let y'all know.

Maybe bro, I don't know either. This guy was also very involved in Payoneer not just crypto.

He's bullshitting you

Thank you... My gut feeling as well.

I've worked with the guy for 3+ years done hundreds of thousands of pounds with him.

He deserves the benefit of doubt. But I can see how it looks like. Trust me, I feel the same way.

The country is unstable, yes. There are several issues plaguing them. There's violence against religious minorities etc. But, an interim government was formed within 72 hours of the former Prime Minister escaping.

It's been roughly 9 months since those events.

And there has been no reported "police shutdown". As a matter of fact, they changed their logo, just today.

So for most Bangaladeshi, it's business as usual since then.

To give you perspective, here's what I see when I change the currency in Binance to BDT (Bangladeshi Taka) and set the country to Bangladesh



So, yes - the claims made by your JV partner, do seem a little far fetched.

Thank you for your insights.

I appreciate the detailed response.

Hey,
Yes, the country is facing instability, including violence against religious minorities.
From what I see on Binance with BDT selected, it’s business as usual for most Bangladeshis.

He was claiming a local exchange stole the money. Not binance or anything like that.

Thanks, I appreciate your comment.

 

[Rufai]

He should give you the name of the exchange. If it was really hacked then it must be in the news.

 

[Opulentos]

Not Bangladeshi but surely that’s a scam

 

[Salamouna]

From knowing many BD people I can say that it's bulshit
they always came up with strange excuses

 

[Venusaur]

This is like a movie plot
Sorry for it, but it's just bullshit

Bro, I think you should be careful with investing money with people you don't know well. It's possible that the guy from Bangladesh might not have been reliable. You should always do some research before putting your money in any kind of investment.

 

[wizard47]

maybe he fucked up while swapping the $ with someone, govt and other parties were too busy handling the protests and crowd tbh it was a hell of a situation here but there was no hijack or anything happened like you mentioned, elites who were connected with the gov and politicians were at a edge of fall and their only goal was to get the fuck out of this country, only option for them was jail which a lot of guys eventually ended up.

while there was a internet blackout we all have faced loses in our businesses specially people who are into internet marketing i lost 2 clients in that time and a few other losses occurred.

so maybe your guy got fucked by brokers or he lied cause most of the local crypto communities are filled with unaware crypto investors, unlimited scammers and fake signal sellers, that's the crypto scenario in here

He's worked with them for 3 years and change... that constitutes knowing them.

I hope the guy didn't go South and take your money, @IamNRE, but this sure looks like they are closing out their business relationship with you.

 

[KokoWanted]

Most likely it's a scam, all respect to BD people but yeah....
