Dozy Mmobuosi, the founder and CEO of Tingo Mobile has been accused by US Regulators of running a "staggering fraud."
Tingo Mobile claimed to provide mobile phones to rural farmers in Nigeria and build a fintech super app. It quickly grew into a multibillion-dollar empire with a listing on New York’s Nasdaq stock exchange.
Dr Dozy, the London-based tycoon attempted to buy the Premier League football team Sheffield United but struggled to prove his financial resources.
It turns out that Mmobuosi’s businesses, as they were commonly understood, may never have existed.
The SEC has accused the Nigerian businessman Mmobuosi Odogwu Banye - of perpetrating an ongoing fraud of “staggering” proportions.

Let's overlook the rhyming name Dozy "Mbozy" and instead talk about the fact that tingo is an Easter Island word for someone who takes everything from someone's house by borrowing them and never returning them. You can read about this in the book The Meaning of Tingo: And Other Extraordinary Words from Around the World by Adam Jacot de Boinod. A fun read.

[@NickRu-jl6tr]

Fun fact about Easter Island...nobody there celebrates Easter. Same for the Virgin Islands...nobody there celebrates Easter, either.

[@TheHighpotinuse]

Malaysia is a nexus for Nigerian scammers that are evading IP range bans in Nigeria so it would make sense that he spent time there. I just watched a video about a scammer named Hushpuppi that mentions Malaysia

Rio Ferdinand on the telly in the background, waiting for an interview. Absolutely no problem there, every genuine tech genius needs a thick centre back.

[@mn1q]

A twist on the old Nigerian Prince con?

[@imranmo]

Why are you doing this? 😅

[@gdbalck]

I was hoping to see at least a passing princely mention. Much obliged.

[@Mr-pn2eh]

Why are you runnon!

[@buravan1512]

NIGERIAN PRINCES are not as many as you may expect... One Scammer could send over 10000 e-mails, they got a specific software for that😂

[@nhlanhlazwane9465]

I hate when fraudsters use the Black Card when it utmost inappropriate!

[@TheZackofSpades]

I feel like if I wrote a financial “thriller” and named the antagonist Dozy MooBozy I would be told I’m a horrid racist😅

[@paraboo8994]

I just love the name Hindenburg Research. As far as names for shortsellers are concerned, it's pretty close to perfect ❤

[@stefanfrankel8157]

Oh, damn, I just got that. It must be late.

[@oneone9884]

What an end of year gem. Thanks for all the talks / videos through the year Patrick. Looking forward to 2024. You may need to make new top ten frauds list I fear.

[@koitsaarevet3601]

Kudos for the thorough research and for including the book description. A laugh a day keeps the doctor away - thank you contributing to our health!

[@mack-uv6gn]

He pulled the race card🤦🏻‍♂️

[@everlastbella8229]

Yep

[@Deadhumour0]

Cringed hard when he did that.

[@stoicman31]

Nigerians are known for their honesty and integrity, Dr. Dozy is very rare among Nigerians. I have never heard of a Nigerian scammer.

[@Mr-pn2eh]

Lmao

[@hmm8454]

Unironicly, every Nigerian I have meet is very nice. Granted these were people that had moved out of Nigeria and almost all of them were from Lagos.

[@timowayne6993]

To be fair they take the bronze. Indians takes the silver and Israelis takes the gold. This is just my experience

[@maltlickytexas]

@@Mr-pn2eh Americans are known for their honesty and integrity. Besides Bernie Madoff, Elizabeth Holmes, Enron Management , Sam Bankman-Fried etc, I have never heard of an American scammer.😂

[@buravan1512]

😂

[@xlgoldfish]

I always ask when I see stories like this , "what's the end game?" Do the fraudsters think no one would find out. The crazy thing is that there are legit startups out there that can't get funding, but the fakes keeps getting paid. The world is unfair. These guys keeps making life difficult for the majority of legit startups in Nigeria actually doing some good.

[@UnboxxingKate]

All this for a flashy lifestyle 😊

[@gravityissues5210]

It’s great to meet another aficionado of modernist avant-garde religious fiction. Thanks for the heads-up on Dozy’s work, I’ve just ordered my copy of _Lucifer Gate._

[@D.Appeltofft]

I bet he very soon will have doubled his net worth from book-sales...;-)

[@wilmot1294]

The Amazon complaint was hilarious 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@bestprice1776]

A Nigerian scammer???? It can't be true 😂😂😂

[@mcspikesky]

Ya hate to stereotype but..

[@maltlickytexas]

@@mcspikesky Yeah, American scammers, anyone? Bernie Madoff, Elizabeth Holmes, Enron Management, Sam Bankman-Fried etc, anyone?

My ribs now hurt. Thanks Patrick.

The SEC and FDA please don't forget the Food and Drug Administration.

[@Waldohasaskit210]

Do investors not do any due diligence at all? How hard is it to look up a patent or make a phone call or pay some Nigerian local to take a video?

[@PrayWorkPlay]

Your work is stellar. I learn so much from you and yet, find myself cracking up so hard at these videos. I have never heard of Dr. Dozy until now. Now I won't forget him. Thank you again kind sir 👍🏽

[@stockswithkunle700]

As a Nigerian, I need to study Dozy Mmuobosi so I can do it but do it right !!!

[@raymondcaylor6292]

Who would've thought a Nigerian would scam people? He had the perfect cover, no wonder people were bamboozled.

[@angelarch5352]

It was so obvious, that nobody believed or wanted to believe that it could be a scam...

[@GOICOBA]

The most fascinating thing about your channel is for me how much it pays off to actively listen. You have a quiet but lethal way of delivering the punchline :D

[@jfjoubertquebec]

Yes, focus is a precious commodity today.

[@muhdiversity7409]

Ahh, he used the magic "inclusion" words.

[@SmarandaC]

Always amazing videos, Patrick. Thanks for keeping us both informed and entertained this past year. 🎉

[@kenwilliams3279]

Dr Dozy. Even his name is taking the piss!!

[@paulhawkins6415]

This man is so accomplished he should be a prince

[@motoric5188]

This is comedy gold! 😂

[@everlastbella8229]

Pure Gold. 😂

[@rosethompson5511]

This has to be made into a comedy TV series

[@chrisalfano589]

Soooo. Deloitte is hiring the worst accountants ever?

[@TheBigdog868]

22:25 I can't believe he played that card. He just said anyone who doesn't believe him is racist. Oh boy...

[@lassataest5604]

You are the only channel, show anything I actually look forward to seeing.

[@robertdavis100]

Patrick's very dry haha

[@shmachable]

"...but it appears to be modernist, avant-garde religious fiction which is, of course, my favorite genre." 😂 I think I just died of sarcasm 😂

[@erikkovacs3097]

Playing the race card to an American audience. He knows us well.

[@wirebrush]

I love these types of videos. The dry, sarcastic humor is unrivaled! Keep it up!

[@saasda6255]

How did he pass the audit ?

[@curtisalex456]

It is Deloitte!!!!!! No surprise!

[@jefft8597]

Fake financial statements and forged documents are illegal? Whaaaat!!! Well there goes my entire Dr. Jeff business plan!

[@milothepanda]

This is next level Nigerian prince scam

[@ernestkumeh3800]

Excellent presentation. Much appreciate the work you do. Thank you.

[@kevinbarry71]

A Nigerian running a complicated scam operation? The shock nearly killed me!

[@dubinatub1]

Me to I've been there many times in distant years. I won't trust Nigeria with a tea party at the zoo

[@johng4093]

Another Nigerian Prince? The King of Nigeria has so many sons!

[@xelaander8429]

​@@dubinatub1 ah yes, much like you'd trust the Winklevoss twins or Sam Bankman Fried?

[@rwj3004]

But they sounded like they lived this businesss. “We do mobile.” Thats all the due diligence needed…no? Okay, insert keyword: “fin tech.” I’m sold

[@gearlewarren5668]

How does Forbes keep getting away with allowing people to buy thru advertising, campaign support, & donations to their non profits?

[@ChisomBenjamin-xp6rx]

the fact he couldn't answer basic financial questions.....its really alarming something is going on...and using racism to cover up,after even being caught by his own people the EFCC

[@emanggitulah4319]

When I saw Elon, the prince from south Africa I bursted out laughing 😂

[@norlockv]

It was the best sight gag of the video.

[@abestream5]

Patrick's Elon cameos are the best

[@d.s.8227]

22:41 I just had to go check out the article. I especially liked the mix of accusing people of racism and then throwing in some irrelevant detail that strongly reeks of antisemitism in: "The instigator of this unwanted hatred is the founder of the Hindenburg Report, Nathan Anderson, a Jewish Wall Street insider"

[@asheru9254]

There's a Nigerian scammer who sold a non existent airport to investors and actually got away with the scam😂

[@jhance11]

When in trouble always break out the race card. How predictable.
