Devyn’s lawyer hired a retired federal Special Agent Scot Thomasson, who reviewed the plans of Akon’s new investment and he found, “Akon City and Akoin show many of the trademark characteristics (known as ‘red flags’) of fraudulent business ventures such as Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes.” 

“Akon has provided almost no transparency about who is investing in Akon City or how it will be purportedly built. Therefore, Akon City is likely a scam,” the lawyer wrote, citing Thomasson’s affidavit.
