Taye Adebisi, better known by his stage name Taye Currency, is a musician from Fuji who has taken aim at people who first exposed him to the Ponzi scheme run by Crypto Bridge Exchange, or CBEX.
According to sources, Currency’s latest lamentations coincide with a growing outcry over the demise of CBEX, a company that misled many Nigerians by using digital investment offerings to guarantee them large returns.
Currency described his experience during a stage show in a social media video that went viral, claiming that some of his close friends told him about the scam.
The musician claimed to have lost ₦10 million to the Ponzi scheme, adding that he had invested in it after seeing how successful his buddies were.

According to him, Sodiq visited my home on April 1 and informed me that Brother Muca and Alaba had also received their money, along with some that Lateef, the brand manager, had collected.
Alaba invested N1.2 million that he had stolen from the stage in CBEX. Brother Muca also contributed N500,000 for his job cost. Sodiq spent the N850,000 he was saving in the band. Lateef made a N1.4 million investment.
“When Latif stated that he had collected N600k using N200k, I became inspired. Seeing my life in the open, I took out the money I had saved with insurance. On April 1, I made a N10 million investment in CBEX, but everything disappeared.
“I was alone before you took me to CBEX, so even if they pass away well, they won’t rest well.”
