Re:I went to Nigeria to meet a man who scammed me

I'm a Nigerian, living in Lagos Nigeria.
Internet scams are a big problem both within and outside the country. Part of the problem is that local law enforcement agents do not have the manpower and technical know-how to tackle the problem.
I'm deeply sorry for those of you whose loved ones have lost money to these scammers.
I'll be hanging around to answer any questions that may be of help.

This is an important point that is not getting adequate discussion right now. A couple of days ago, the sight was unavailable for days both on the clear-net and in the dark-web. The sight resurfaced two days ago with two levels of captcha before anyone can search the site.
What does this imply? My guess is that the site went down under an automated DDOS.
A distributed archive will ameliorate this sort of situation.

There is in fact a probability attached to p-values. A p-value of 0.05 for instance means your conclusions will be wrong 5 out of 100 times. You can reduce the p-value to e.g. 0.001 or any other value you want.

Nigerian here. Tecno is a very popular brand in Nigeria. Especially among the middle class.
