Ponzi scheme victim kills herself; more investors, including pregnant women, at risk
One of the victims of the crashed Ponzi scheme Chinmark Group has committed suicide.
Mrs. Nuella, who invested millions of naira without her husband’s permission, attempted taking her own life following the loss of her investment.
But she was rescued and taken to the hospital, according to Mr. Charles Awuzie with a verified Facebook account posting her account details and soliciting assistance for her.
Nuella, however, didn’t make it.
Awuzie wrote Monday night about the passing away of the victim.
“Nuella – the lady who invested her family’s money with you and attempted suicide last month because of you (referring to Chinmark founder Marksman Chinedu Ijeomah)
“Well, she couldn’t handle the disappointment and she left the world today,” he wrote on Facebook.
He also noted Nuella might not be the only suicidal victim.
“As I type this, there are more women in my inbox telling me that they may not make it”, he wrote, hinting among them were pregnant women who also participated in the Ponzi scheme.
