Fraudulent Activities Rock Nicaragua’s Finance Sector, Leaving Many Victims in its Wake
A sophisticated Ponzi scheme has been uncovered in Nicaragua, Central America, leaving a trail of financial devastation in its wake.
The Scheme: Redbus
The scheme, which was disguised as a legitimate investment opportunity called Redbus, promised unsuspecting victims daily profits of $6 for completing various activities. To receive these supposed profits, participants were required to transfer a significant amount of USDT (Tether) cryptocurrency into the company’s accounts.
The Truth Revealed
However, authorities have since revealed that this was all just a ruse, designed to dupe investors out of their hard-earned cash. The scheme’s mastermind has since disappeared from Telegram and shut down the website, leaving many Nicaraguans who invested in Redbus feeling duped and financially ruined.
Promotional Materials Exposed
The company’s promotional materials, which included fake income projections and bogus prizes such as iPhones and iPads, have been exposed for what they really are - a cleverly designed scam. Authorities are warning investors to be on high alert for similar schemes that may attempt to take advantage of their financial insecurity.
Warning from Authorities

A Growing Concern in Nicaragua’s Finance Sector
