But I only received about 200,000 Sri Lankan rupees ($560.20),” Pathirana told Al Jazeera. “I lost everything.”Pathirana is one of the many Sri Lankans both locally and overseas who claim to have been deceived by a group of men that ran a fake cryptocurrency investment scheme and swindled millions of rupees. While it is not clear how many people in total claim to have been duped, one person that Al Jazeera spoke to said easily a thousand people had joined in his district alone, and that since the model worked on bringing on new investors, the scheme had a cascading effect.Source:- <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/8/15/sri-lankans-make-crypto-ponzi-scam-claims" target="_blank">https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/8/15/sri-lankans-make-crypto-ponzi-scam-claims</a></blockquote>
