“We shall bring you more about this fraudster and conman over the course of the next few weeks. Slowly watch this b**** die as we expose him!” read one of the tweets. The hackers also claimed to have found bank account details of the businessman and promised to share more details in future.

Do not f*** with us,” one of the tweets read.
