I’m a business owner and all my life, I have done everything the right way and worked diligently for my money but my daughter Lucy was stubborn and was keen on investing in some online investment site that offers over 55% of your initial investment in the space of a month. I warned her against this and not investing but he wouldn’t listen, he believes the world is changing and crypto is the new money. Unfortunately for her and our family business, while I was away for a week he took over 750,000 USD which he invested in the investment company. I learnt of this upon my return a week later and was weak to my knees, I had no option but to wait it out to see for real if they were any good. When it was time to cash out at the end of the month, the investment company radioed silent on him and locked him out of his account. I had to act fast or watch our family business go bankrupt, I made a few calls to my business partners who knew people around the world and I got connected with SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALST.
