The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is looking into reports that the Aman Futures Group which was responsible for swindling more than PhP12Billion from thousands of investors may have used the money to finance terrorists here and abroad. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is also seeking the help of the local courts and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLAC) to aid them in freezing the bank accounts and assets of the pyramiding syndicate so that the money cannot be withdrawn and transferred to other bank accounts.
In a related story, the NBI has arrested Jachob "Coco" Rasuman who is allegedly the ringleader of the Rasuman Pyramiding Group which embezzeled billions of pesos from thousands of investors in Marawi City. Government Authorities said that the Rasuman Group may have collected more money that the Aman Futures Group because Coco Rasuman had far more investors in the region. The Rasuman clan are well known and are very influential in Marawi City but the people who invested and got swindled are threatening to create massive turmoil against the entire Rasuman clan if their cash are not immediately reimbursed.
The Philippine Government is beefing up the Police and Military forces in that region to prevent and to quell any violence that may erupt because of the Rasuman Pyramiding Scheme. Tensions are high in that region as most of the victims are insisting on getting back their hard earned cash from the investment company owners. Some employees and collectors of the Aman Group have already been killed and a few houses and cars have been burned by angry investors. The Rasuman mansion have been shot at and the owners were forced to abandon their huge residence for fear of reprisals.
The Government should handle this problem immediately and put the guilty persons in jail before the desperate people who lost a lot money begin taking matters into their own hands. A few incidents of shootouts and grenade throwing incidents have already occurred but the authorities claim that they are still capable of maintaining the peace and order. The question is how long can the thousands of victims control their fury and rage before the whole region explodes like a powder keg....
