In a bid to gain insight into the issue, Legit.ng reached out to Sabinus and his management, Mike Premium, who revealed that they only got into a deal with AI Mining after they had presented several government papers to prove their legality.
Mike Premuim said;
"We got in a deal with them initially, but this was after they presented several government documents to prove their legality. But the moment we discovered that they were trying to defraud Nigerians we cancelled our deal with them."

Premium further noted;
"We are not involved in the recent defrauding round that they recently perpetuated. It was after their concert in Lagos, in which Iyanya, T.I Blaze and Bella Shmurda performed that they took people's money and ran away."
