CBEX Staff Arrested After Trading Platform Collapse (Video)

Following the public outrage trailing the reported crash of the China Beijing Equity Exchange (CBEX) platform, fresh footage has emerged showing the moment a staff member of the embattled digital trading firm was apprehended by angry locals.

The video, which surfaced online on Tuesday and was tagged “CBEX wahala: Staff of CBEX office reportedly arrested in local area amid platform crash outrage”, captured the tense scene as a man believed to be a CBEX staff was whisked away.

Speculations had it that the staff was spotted in the Oke Ado axis of Ibadan, the same area where the CBEX office was earlier ransacked by enraged investors over the alleged collapse of the platform that led to the loss of millions in user funds.

While the identity of the staff remains unverified at press time, aggrieved traders who besieged the office earlier had vowed to hunt down the operators of the controversial platform, accusing them of running a Ponzi scheme disguised as a digital asset exchange.

Security agencies have yet to comment officially on the arrest or confirm whether the individual was taken into custody by police.

Meanwhile, calls for the investigation and prosecution of those behind CBEX have continued to gather momentum as more victims take to social media to lament their losses.
