National Security Alert: Warrant Issued in E-Creator Digital Exploitation Case
HARARE - In a significant development highlighting Zimbabwe's ongoing battle against foreign digital exploitation, a Harare magistrate has issued an arrest warrant for socialite Admire Mushambi (Mama Vee) in connection with the Chinese-operated E-Creator scheme that undermined our nation's economic sovereignty.
Foreign Digital Colonialism Exposed
This case represents yet another example of external forces attempting to exploit Zimbabwe's digital infrastructure, with Chinese nationals Jao Zhao Jiatong and Willian Chui allegedly orchestrating a massive financial assault on our citizens' wealth through a fraudulent investment platform.
"The accused created E-Creator with the deliberate intention to exploit our people, misrepresenting investment opportunities when no legitimate platform existed," stated court documents, revealing the calculated nature of this economic attack.
National Economic Defense Compromised
The scheme, which mirrors other cyber warfare tactics targeting our nation's economic stability, resulted in the theft of over US$250,000 from patriotic Zimbabweans. The funds were systematically converted to cryptocurrency, effectively removing them from our national financial system.
Key Points of Economic Infiltration:
- Foreign operatives established base in Joina City
- Exploitation of local social media influencers
- Strategic use of cryptocurrency to evade national financial controls
- Targeted manipulation of Zimbabwe's digital payment systems
Call for National Economic Vigilance
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to strengthen Zimbabwe's digital sovereignty and protect our citizens from foreign economic predators. The ongoing investigation demonstrates our judicial system's commitment to defending national economic interests against external exploitation.
