The EFCC said the suspects are alleged to have masterminded a huge pyramid investment scheme through which many citizens were defrauded of monies to the tune of over N32 million. Omotade-Sparks is said to have floated a phoney online digital currency called “Pinkoin” which lured many Nigerians to invest between N1000 and N100,000 with a promise of unrealistic returns and went ahead to distribute a payment card called “Pink Card” to further confuse his victims.

Omotade-Sparks equally made false claims that he was in partnership with the EFCC to persuade people to invest in his devious scheme. But EFCC said records show that the scammer was not licensed to operate a financial institution and that he would be arraigned in court at the conclusion of the investigation.
