After publishing for months that he was a partner in the digital bank Girabank, influencer Carlinhos Maia was accused by internet users of being involved in crimes involving the financial institution.
Supposedly, the company would be deleting customer accounts and, consequently, keeping account holders’ money. The situation was among the most talked about topics on X, formerly Twitter.
After the negative repercussion, Carlinhos Maia announced, via Instagram, that he had no longer been a partner of the company for “almost a year”, shocking internet users and clients who had joined the bank due to the celebrity’s great publicity.
“An important thing about Girabank: As most of you already know, I left the company almost a year ago, precisely because every time there was a problem, people would come and beat me up. There could be a million things happening of good things, but there were some problems…”, he began.
Still in the statement, Lucas Guimarães’ husband explained that the company issued a note explaining that the bank was sold to another American group, and therefore, he had left the company.
However, he stated that the bank would not be keeping account holders’ money. “There is a change of owners and there is no way anyone’s money will be stolen — especially because it can’t be done, it involves the Central Bank and everything else. Don’t worry, look at your email, okay? They are resolving everything”, concluded.
