He also said he was doing this also because he didn& #39;t want people to keep complaining that they didn& #39;t have money whenever it was time to contribute to his foundation
He went to great lengths to assure his followers that he had a plan in place to ensure that everyone earned.

He started registrations on the 14th of August and within 2 weeks over 500 people registered, @Neo_officiall got to the rank of Prince and Made $10,000.
What we didn& #39;t know at the time was that he had already put his friends and his close associates as his direct downlines,

One month after he opened the registrations, when he knew that people& #39;s subscriptions were expiring, he came to the telegram group and offered apologies, claiming that his plans had failed and that he was truly sorry.

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

Just a few days later, he was tweeting about wanting to buy the Samsung Note 20 Ultra. A Phone that costs 600k, where will the money come from?
He has deleted the tweet, but here is an image of the tweet

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
