In a related story, TUKO.co.ke previously reported that a Kenyan man, @_kenyanprince paraded wads of cash online, claiming it was KSh 6 million.
What TikToker @_kenyanprince told KRA
@_kenyanprince claimed that the money he was flaunting was KSh 6 million.
He dared the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to find him, as he could comfortably pay his taxes, and his source of getting the cash was legit.
"Hii si kipindi guys, this is money that has been wrapped with rubber bands. One to three, six million Kenyan shillings. This is what six million Kenyan shillings look like that is real si hadithi. It has been withdrawn by the forex bureau of investigations, and KRA, you can look for me so that I can pay you."
TUKO.co.ke established that his page is dedicated to parading his lavish lifestyle and the different cars he poses with online.
He has also claimed himself as Kenya's youngest sponsor.
Separately, a Kenyan forex trader Kafuri, has been showing off what fans term as a 'fake lifestyle' online after he was recently exposed.
The Truth Watchdog took it upon himself and did an investigative piece on the forex trader and a mansion he claimed to own.
Kafuri was exposed for his lies, and the owner of the mansion challenged him to provide receipts of the mansion's title deed.
