4-1-9 Scam
These special-editions Quatloos commemorates those who have made a name for
themselves in their particular business endeavors.
25
Q
Sani Abacha
The 25 Quatloo chip is known as a "Plock", and bears
the image of the late General Sani Abacha, who was once the leader of Nigeria.
General Abacha allegedly embezzled $3 billion from Nigeria before his death,
and the country is currently trying to open Swiss bank accounts, etc., to have
the money returned. This financial scandal spurred tens of thousands of scams
where people claim to have money from Sani Abacha (or his wife, Mariam Abacha),
such as $30 million, of which they will give you 20% if you help them get it
out of the country.
The back of the 25 Quatloo chip is representative of the Nigerian
flag, while also referencing 4-1-9, which is the Nigerian penal code that deals
with this type of scam. This scam often also implicates the Nigerian National
Petroleum Company and other institutions in Nigeria, as well as Sierra Leone,
Ghana, and many other African nations. These scams are discussed at http://www.quatloos.com/

Our 25Q Chip appeared also on our Series No. 1 Quatloosian
