The act of goodwill has gone viral on social media, restoring Nigerians’ trust in the crypto community.
Femi Akinola, a Nigerian cryptocurrency trader, returned 90 Solana tokens worth $14,000 that a foreign trader mistakenly sent to him. His honest act garnered widespread praise and led to gifts totaling over 35 SOL from members of the crypto community.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Akinola explained that a crypto trader known as The Crypto Network on X had intended to send him $100 in Solana (SOL) tokens as part of a giveaway but accidentally transferred 100 SOL worth approximately 20 million Nigerian nairas ($13,300).
Realizing his mistake, the trader contacted Akinola and requested the return of 90 SOL, allowing him to keep 10 SOL as a gesture of goodwill. According to The Crypto Network’s post on X, he was astonished when Akinola honored the request and promptly returned 90 SOL.
