Official Resignation from the Post of CEO at Astrotwig (
@Astrotwig
)
Due to my negligence and the resultant unfortunate effect, I wish to inform the public of my official stepping down from being the CEO of Astrotwig.
However, I'm available to aid the investigation process.

The sequence of events leading to this unfortunate incident began with our company's participation in MIDEM, the prestigious global music conference held in France. Despite our endeavors to secure funding and partnerships, our efforts were unsuccessful.

On February 10, 2024, I found myself ensnared in a deceitful scheme orchestrated by an individual posing as an angel investor, Mr. Simon Tiwari. He purportedly offered us a loan of $1 million, to be repaid over a period of 5 years.

Dear God, I need your strength through this ordeal help me come out stronger 🙏🏽

Following the event, I took to Twitter to appeal for financial support, ranging from $100,000 to $500,000, for our pre-seed stage.

Subsequently, I made contact with Mr. Simon Tiwari (+44 7537 135782), who claimed to have also attended MIDEM. After submitting the requisite due diligence documents, Mr. Tiwari expressed interest in providing the loan, albeit for a larger sum than initially sought.
6

However, Mr. Tiwari stipulated that the transaction be conducted through blockchain, particularly Bitcoin, citing concerns about traditional methods. He requested a collateral amount of $20,000 in BTC to facilitate the transfer of the $1 million loan.

It was during this outreach that a contact named Max (+234 814 800 8601) provided a lead, urging me to explore potential funding opportunities.

Several days later, Mr. Tiwari confirmed their willingness to proceed with the loan after reviewing our documents. Excited by the prospect of funding, I shared the news with our software developers, anticipating imminent financial support.

Regrettably, the transaction incurred an unexpected deduction of $19,350 instead of the intended amount, signaling the deception behind the transaction and resulting in a substantial loss for Astrotwig.

45
Upon Mr. Tiwari's insistence, the funds were moved to a Mycelium wallet, purportedly the preferred platform for investments. Subsequently, a test transaction of $19 in BTC was initiated as per Mr. Tiwari's instructions.
He sent a Qr code to scan for Address.

@teemeetopz
1. I wasn't given any loan at the end of the day, after the transaction had been manipulated through the man in the middle attack he blocked me everywhere
2. I sent $19 but the address he gave me changed the value by way of the man in the middle attack
3. It was before i sent

In a concerted effort to meet this requirement, my co-founder Fuwad Ajibola Disu mobilized support from his network, securing the necessary funds for collateral. The funds were transferred to a newly created blockchain wallet to provide proof to Mr. Tiwari.

but weeks went by, and we didn't hear anything or get anything. Until last 2 weeks, a guy reached out to me, saying he saw us at the Midem pitch event and he has been looking to reach out to us. He wants to invest the whole $1m we were looking to raise for pre-seed
1

21
So, he asked me at first before he would invest that he wants to see at least the company got $20k in the account as proof. So, I spoke to my co-founders, and we gathered all we've got and also borrowed money from people because I and my co-founders are final year students
1

and we don't have that much money. Thinking that the $20k is just proof to show him, and we showed. He said okay and asked me to send $19 to test the wallet.

Firstly, I recently graduated not that it matters but if you wouldn't mind I can show you our market analysis and well detailed business plan that indeed shows the amount needed was justified, also I wasn't taking the loan, the company was, Lastly We can't fail.
@SegzsDaEngine
My main concern is why a 200L undergraduate will be so confident to take on a loan of $1m?
What asset do you have to secure the loan?
Aside your business idea, what alternative plan do you have to pay back $1m if business fails?
Have you really thought about that?
Do you

Dear startup founder without connections or access to rich networks, its not your fault you haven't been able to raise, it's just where you are from, the percentage of raising from Nigerian angel investors without having some sort of connection to them is barely 5%.
