I still don’t know how he’s still breathing because the mere thought of losing ₦10k is doing my chest one kind.] He didn’t lose all the $500k at once, though. “I’d invested about $80k in Terra in 2021. By April 2022, it had grown to $150k. Then the Luna/Terra coin crash happened, and took my money with it. Honestly, I should’ve known the returns were too good to be true, but shit happens. It was painful, but I still had about $400k in other savings and investments. So, it was like, “Damn, I lost money. Well, I still have money.” Then, he lost the rest a few months later. “I liquidated the rest of my crypto and stocks — about $380k — in late October and put it all in FTX so I could process my golden visa. I didn’t put the money in the bank because I didn’t want anyone asking too many questions or forcing me to fill out forms. It was supposed to be there for a week. Unfortunately, FTX crashed on November 2. I didn’t even know until November 9 because I was busy with work and was ignoring my emails. By the time I found out, my money was gone.” [Read his NairaLife here](=.lX8UPthUSFuBimYZ5zURQEvZdxLhjPIUThTzMtGIla0) *We'll be tweeting answers to this on our Twitter account at noon, so feel free to tweet us your answers with the hashtag [#ZikokoDailyQuiz](#) --> Zikoko Daily's Top 2 Tyler Perry strikes again His newest production, “Mea Culpa”, has hit Netflix, and while the wigs are better in this movie, I can’t say the same for the plot.
