Predictably, there was an uproar and Nwankwo Emmanuel offered refunds and then pretended he had refunded certain people.
No one ever came forward in the group to acknowledge that they had been refunded.
Neo came forward the same day & said he no longer had any money to refund

His original apology statement said that he would leave the telegram group of the people that registered under him open so that they would vent their frustrations, but when someone was about to drop a voicenote containing his real voice, he deleted the group.
His IG page was being reported and he tried to hide it to prevent it from being taken down, eventually it was taken down.
After some deep research into uncovering his identity, we were able to find some pictures he took with his accomplices
