The biggest ghost in crypto: 69,000 BTC and two brothers who disappeared

In 2021, South African brothers Ameer and Raees Cajee founded the cryptocurrency investment platform Africrypt, which suddenly disappeared without a trace. Before vanishing, the brothers blamed a hacker attack—claiming to have lost 69,000 Bitcoins at once, worth over $4 billion at the time.

Key details:

• The two claimed to have been hacked and advised investors not to report to the police (which is quite suspicious)
• Investigations revealed that the so-called “hacker incident” was likely staged by the brothers themselves
• The large sum was laundered through mixing services and stored across various wallets

The most outrageous part is—years later, the brothers are still missing, with no formal charges or extradition efforts.

Honestly, this case is like a mystery in the crypto world: investors suffered heavy losses, but the responsible parties have vanished without a trace. That’s why many remain wary of platform security.
