I've been hearing whispers about a significant Bitcoin scam that's been making waves in Cape Town in 2021. Can you shed some light on this? Is it some sort of Ponzi scheme? Or is it related to fake mining opportunities? My understanding is that with the rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, there's been an influx of scams targeting unsuspecting investors. I'm particularly interested in knowing the specifics of this Cape Town scam, how it operated, and what measures were taken to combat it. Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
