Onto some rather shocking development, 23-year-old Victor Kibet, a recent graduate from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), has been thrust into the spotlight following his mysterious abduction while enjoying a game of pool at a popular spot along Thika Road. What initially seemed like an isolated incident soon unraveled into a tale of intrigue, exposing a tangled network of international fraud.
Kibet, who graduated from JKUAT just last year, had eschewed traditional employment in favor of pursuing a career as a Forex trader. However, his sudden and unexplained accumulation of vast wealth raised eyebrows among those acquainted with him, prompting scrutiny into his connections and the source of his affluence.
The abduction, orchestrated by individuals posing as law enforcement officers in Juja, Thika, marked the commencement of a series of revelations that implicated Kibet in a sophisticated fraud ring with ties to Chinese hackers and fraudsters.
At the heart of this clandestine group’s operations lay the practice of carding, a dark web activity involving the illicit acquisition of foreign cards to exploit vulnerabilities and siphon funds from bank accounts. Employing intricate schemes such as fabricating invoices or leveraging legitimate platforms like Airbnb for money laundering, Kibet and his cohorts operated covertly, leaving a trail of financial devastation in their wake.

With the emergence of details concerning Kibet’s Chinese associates and the opulent lifestyle he had adopted, complete with luxury vehicles including a Toyota Mark X, Audi Q5, Mercedes Benz GLC 250, and Subaru Forester, suspicions surrounding the legitimacy of his wealth intensified. Despite his father’s staunch defense of his son’s character, the glaring incongruity between Kibet’s modest background and extravagant living standards cast doubt upon the veracity of his riches.
Prior to his disappearance, Kibet had attracted the attention of detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), who were closely monitoring his activities. His sudden vanishing act has ignited a sweeping investigation spanning Thika, Kiambu, and Nairobi counties, as law enforcement agencies devote their resources to unraveling the enigma surrounding his abduction and alleged involvement in fraudulent enterprises.
