About MaxiCrypto Recovery Unit
In response to escalating cyber threats endangering South Africa’s digital economy, the Maximum Group proposes the formation of the Maxi Crypto Recovery Unit (MCRU). With annual losses exceeding 200 billion Rand due to crypto scams like “rug-pull” schemes and ransomware attacks, urgent action is imperative.
Working in tandem with the Special Operations Cyber Crime Unit (SOCCU), MCRU will operate under strict government protocols with an initial team of 8 members. Their primary objective: to confiscate illegally obtained crypto funds through asset forfeiture, potentially recovering billions annually for the government. This initiative represents a pivotal step in safeguarding South Africa’s digital assets and citizens from the perils of cybercrime.
