The Mexico/US Brazil lead the world in credit card fraud. Nigeria leads in Internet scam. Australians and drug trafficking? Google. The crime gene is a human gene! Madoff was not a Nigerian.

The difference is control of the narrative. A massive failure by successive 🇳🇬 govts 1/1

“In the 2016 study, Mexico has the highest rate of credit card fraud at 51%, followed by the United States at 46%, and Brazil at 46%”

“the country with the highest rate of identity theft, that is the USA, has more than 70% of identity theft cases in the world. Other countries affected by this crime after the USA are the United Kingdom with 8% cases, Canada with 4% cases and Australia with 2% cases.”
