RE: Attending my first HIVE event | HIVE Hackathon at IIT, Delhi, India

Some day i also want to join a hive offline event and I hope it'll be in Pakistan too. Seems like you've had so much fun there..... Ooopppssss i want to rob what you get from the event 🤣

!HUG 🤗

I am putting the things in a locker as I type this reply. Sorry, lady...those are mine! 😁

Haha in the locker.... You can share with your friend like me too 😁😉

I once hosted an event in Karachi, no one showed up lol

Rest is history

It was for Shrazi and rozecane to come still....

I remember one time you had just one other person. Was it the same one you are talking about?

No, it's a different one.

I'm talking about the time when I invited three brothers from Karachi, along with an open invitation to anyone else who wanted to join. I was covering the cost of food for everyone.

And the guy u mentioned, he now runs a business of dental services. He also runs a business of selling honey.

He is accused of getting involved in a zakkat scam. I can't say he was at fault or not. But he was from club100 and they r not welcomed on hive. 100 people from steemit with a particular history.

There were three or more men who disguised themselves as women by wearing burkhas. Since women in Pakistan typically do not show their faces, they exploited this cultural norm to conceal their identities. These men ultimately funneled zakat funds collected by the community to themselves (a photoshoot of receiving goods like oil, rice etc). The community had unknowingly added them as 1% beneficiaries throughout Ramadan.

Approximately 70% of the misappropriated zakat funds were funneled to a specific Steemit and Blurt witness from Pakistan.

I was approached through video calls with several "get rich quick" offers, but I turned them down. Since I was personally pitched to join the scam, I understand how it operates.

@pravesh0 in case you miss this notification.

I don't know about that event maybe i wasn't familiar at that time with hive but in future I'll try to come if I can.
