Kenyan detectives have arrested Mildred Kache, the alleged mastermind behind a fraudulent gold deal that defrauded an American investor of 431,380 Tether (USDT). The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) announced the arrest, which took place at Crystal Villas in Kilimani, Nairobi. Kache's accomplice, Ibrahim Yusuf Mohamed, managed to escape, leaving behind a black Mercedes-Benz E50, now held as evidence. The scam involved promising the investor 400 kilograms of gold bars, leading him to Nairobi to finalize the agreement. After the investor transferred the funds to accounts controlled by the group, communication ceased, and no gold was delivered. The DCI traced the fraud to Kache, who also goes by Sabreena Ayesha, and she is currently in custody pending arraignment. Authorities are actively pursuing Mohamed and attempting to recover the stolen funds. This incident highlights a recurring pattern of scams in Nairobi's Kilimani area, where fraudsters use stablecoins like USDT for quick, irreversible transactions. Kenya is working on its first dedicated crypto law to enhance oversight of suspicious financial activities. The outcome of Kache's court appearance and the potential recovery of the USDT will be closely watched.
