In a shocking turn of events, Nigerian cryptocurrency trading mogul Linus Williams, popularly known as “BLord,” was recently arrested on charges of fraud, terrorism funding, and aiding internet fraud. The arrest, which took place on Tuesday, July 16th, has garnered significant attention within the crypto community and beyond.
Blord, a social media influencer with millions of followers on Instagram, is the CEO of the Blord Group, a prominent cryptocurrency trading platform. The arrest came as a surprise to many, as Blord had established a reputation as a successful and influential figure in the digital asset space.
Shortly after the news of Blord’s arrest broke, the Blord Group released an official statement on its Instagram page, providing some details on the terms of his detention. According to the statement, the authorities had taken BLord into custody for further investigation.
In a new development, YouTuber Vincent Martins Otse, who goes by the online moniker “VeryDarkMan” (VDM), has shared a video providing an update on Blord’s situation. VDM revealed that Blord has been released from police custody, but he was asked to return to the office on Tuesday, July 23rd, due to his bail condition. VDM further stated that this was only after much pleading.
The news of Blord’s release has sparked various reactions from social media users. Some have expressed scepticism, with @dezzy_gold_ commenting, “This is how our enemies will keep explaining.” Others, like @edutex_poundz, have accused VDM of being “bitter” about the situation.
However, not all reactions have been positive. @kerekenneth, a self-proclaimed human rights activist, criticized VDM’s approach, stating, “As a human rights activist, I would say, this guy here, VDM is not practising according to ethics.”
The arrest and subsequent release of Linus Williams, alias Blord, have undoubtedly raised more questions than answers. As the investigation continues, the cryptocurrency community and the public at large await further developments in this high-profile case.
