Sacha Minguel, 23, and her husband, Joao Figueiredo, 22, were caught up in a coup by a “crypto elder” and lost 1.2 million Brazilian reals.
According to O Globo newspaper, Xuxa’s daughter and singer met Francesley Valdivino da Silva – the real name of “The Elder” – at a mass at the Anglican church they attended. Initially, the couple invested only 50,000 Brazilian reais, but later they signed two more contracts, the value of which exceeded one million Brazilian reals.
Francisley’s Rental Coins company promised returns of up to 8.5% of the amount invested in the “cryptocurrency leasing” scheme.
Since they did not receive the promised return, Sasha and her husband filed a lawsuit for moral and material compensation, alleging fraud. The process takes place in the 14th Civil Court of the Court of Justice of Paraná.
In addition to the famous, the “elder” was deceiving priests and other believers.
He told O Globo that the companies in his group were undergoing restructuring and, therefore, he failed to pay the monthly income promised to the investors. In a note, Francisley said he would resume payments in October.
According to the publication, the “Sheikh” has become the focus of the Federal Police in an investigation investigating suspected crimes against the national financial system.
