The Unexpected Windfall
A 37-year-old crypto influencer and farmer, Sunusi Danjuma, recently found himself in an unusual situation when he discovered $135,000 mistakenly deposited into his digital wallet. In an interview, he shared the story of how he came across the funds, why he chose to return them, and the reactions that followed.
A Multifaceted Career
Danjuma hails from Kano State and is known for his work as a farmer, cryptocurrency trader, and crypto currency influencer. He has built a community of over 350,000 members across various social media platforms, including Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok. Additionally, he works as a marketer in Web3 development and runs a YouTube channel with about 55,000 subscribers, where he discusses crypto-related topics.
The Moment of Discovery
On September 5, 2025, Danjuma partnered with Bitunix Exchange as their affiliate and promoter in Nigeria. As part of this partnership, he received daily commissions. On Monday, September 29, 2025, while attempting to send his regular rebate, the system mistakenly sent him a token called USELESS worth 140,000 USDT.
Danjuma woke up around 4:30 a.m. and checked his business account. When he tried to send the token, the platform said he couldn’t transfer the full amount in one go, only $4,000 per transaction. So, he made multiple transfers of $4,000 until he succeeded in sending tokens worth $129,000. He left a balance of over 9,000 USDT.
The Decision to Return the Funds
After converting some of the tokens, Danjuma decided to contact the Bitunix Exchange Business Developer in Africa to find out what was going on. He reached out to Skobia, who is from Kenya. After some back-and-forth communication, Skobia confirmed that the deposit was a glitch and that affected accounts would be frozen temporarily.
The Influence of Faith
When asked why he returned the money so quickly, Danjuma cited his faith as a guiding factor. As a Muslim, he believed that taking anything that did not belong to him was against his principles. His wives also supported his decision, advising him not to touch the money and to wait for confirmation from the exchange.
Social Media Reactions
Despite his actions, Danjuma faced backlash on social media. Some people insulted him for returning the money, while others praised him. However, he remained unfazed, understanding that people would always have differing opinions.
Resolution of the Glitch
Although the exchange has not directly replied to him, Danjuma has been communicating with them through their business developer. The glitch has since been resolved, and the money has been retrieved. His account has been unfrozen, allowing him to continue his trading activities.
Conclusion
Danjuma’s story highlights the importance of integrity and ethical behavior, even in the face of unexpected wealth. His actions serve as a reminder that, regardless of the circumstances, doing the right thing can lead to positive outcomes.
