- Jaymoh Decin is a Kenyan content creator who has gone viral for a series of rib-cracking skits on social media.
- Mr. Decin thrives on parody, mimicking prominent figures in Kenya and around the world.
- His most viral impressions include those of high-profile preacher David Owuor and big-time Jamaican artist Vybz Kartel.
- In a recent collaboration with fellow comedian and skit-maker YY, Jaymoh ripped into the fake theatrics and over-the-top drama staged by Kenyan forex traders.
Jaymoh Decin Visits Shady Forex Mansion for Forex Training
Posing as a young forex protege, Jaymoh visits what appears to be the grandmaster’s residence for a scheduled mentorship session.
Clean-shaven and clad in an extended suit jacket, he drives into the palatial property in a small car. Comedian YY, posing as the godfather, receives him at his doorstep.
Starstruck and disoriented, the apprentice exchanges greetings and quickly points out his new car.
The grandmaster then shakes his head in disgust and begins to show the visitor around the compound.
His sleek Mercedes-Benz parked in the driveway momentarily comes into view, showcasing unmatched opulence.
Jaymoh desperately tries to counter the godfather’s snobbish comments on his car, insisting that it effectively takes him from point A to point B.
In a classic patronizing move, the forex guru swings an arm around his shoulder for a quick, condescending pep talk.
“You are not in this business to spin and move around. You are in this business to create an impression! optics! People must admire your lifestyle,” says the don.
Decin also follows YY to his car as he retrieves a set of keys, a move which YY proudly attributes to the “aura” of his high-end Mercedes-Benz.
Jaymoh Decin Takes a Crash Course in the Mind Games and “Optics” of Forex Trading
After the brief dressing down outside, the apprentice is ushered into the mansion for specialized coaching.
Jaymoh then learns how to curate an opulent facade for the gullible masses who endlessly scroll on social media.
The mansion’s interior is breathtaking, featuring gold accents, intricately carved wooden staircases leading upstairs, massive chandeliers, and a cozy dining area that invites relaxation.
YY is seen demonstrating to his student how to make a wealthy impression and elegance just by walking down the flight of stairs.
They reach the dining area, where Decin attempts to pull a chair for breakfast.
The don quickly cautions him that the food and cutlery on the table were all for show.
Decin’s final lesson is perfecting his posture and power play in front of oblivious clients.
“This is the opportunity to impose yourself on these people,” explains YY as he pulls his next move, the car keys.
Decin is coached to subtly flaunt his car keys during client interactions by pulling them from his pocket and placing them on the table with the vehicle logo clearly visible.
The point is to never appear desperate for the client.
Jaymoh is trained to act nonchalant, even slightly dismissive, as he slowly marinates his target for the ultimate con.
Another key tactic in the forex guru playbook is assigning a bodyman to collect the client’s “meagre” payments, adding a layer of perceived hierarchy and status.
Alongside the glowing testimonials playing on a massive TV screen, Jaymoh is also taught to prompt modern-day anxiety: the fear of missing out, better known as FOMO.
Jaymoh Decin and YY effectively exposed the performative showmanship displayed by today’s forex traders in Kenya.
These supposedly wealthy clique of young men are at the center of the viral forex trading craze, flaunting wads of cash, luxury vehicles, and lavish vacations to impress thousands of online followers.
While they confidently credit their flashy lifestyles to forex trading acumen, widespread suspicion suggests there may be criminal activity hidden beneath these carefully curated antics, popularly referred to as vipindi in the local lingo.
These suspicions have grown in light of recent crackdowns by Interpol, the FBI, and AFRIPOL, targeting alleged money laundering and scam networks.
One such operation (Operation Serengeti 2.0) led to over 1,200 arrests across Kenya, Nigeria, and other parts of Africa.
