The submission for Marasoft Pay presents significant discrepancies between claimed success and verifiable reality. While the project exists as a fintech entity in Nigeria and Kenya, external investigations reveal critical 'red flags,' including allegations of fraud, frozen employee accounts, and the exploitation of a glitch to withdraw funds from partners (TechCabal, Jan 2025). The submission claims 'most people have used my product,' which is demonstrably false and hyperbolic. Furthermore, the claim of a 125-person team contradicts reports of unpaid salaries and a smaller workforce (~40). The project appears to be in operational distress with serious ethical and legal challenges, negating its potential utility.
