Investors are livid after two brothers, Ameer Cajee and Raees Cajee, allegedly disappeared  after an alleged "hack" that saw bitcoins worth nearly $4 billion at the time go missing in what could be considered one of the largest cryptocurrency scams of all time by dollar value.

This news, reported by Bloomberg, comes just months after Africrypt, the South African crypto investment platform run by the brothers, reported being hacked in April. In an email sent on April 13th to clients, chief operating officer Ameer Cajee explained that the platform will be halting operations after a system breach compromised an unspecified amount of clients’ crypto wallets and investments. Ameer implored clients not to involve law enforcement or investigators as it could “only delay the recovery process” of their funds, which they said would already take a “substantial amount of time.”
