ついに、MBI本丸に捜査のメスが入る！！

 


仮想通貨ビジネスのMBI、当局が一斉捜査

警察、行政当局の捜査官、職員約30人が5月29日、仮想通貨ビジネスを展開するMBIインターナショナルの本部事務所とサービスセンターを5時間にわたり捜索し、大量の書類を押収した。
連邦警察商事調査局と国内取引協同組合消費者行政省が中心の捜査チームで、マルチ商法取締法、金融サービス法、直販法違反の疑いだ。

当局はセランゴール州アンパンにあるMBIの事務所も捜索した。

  
中央銀行バンク・ネガラは最近、MBIに疑わしい商行為があると警告していた。MBIの仮想通貨スキームでは、会員になった者は一定額（100ー1万5,000米ドル、約2,600ー39万円）を預け、デジタル通貨のM（エム）コインを受け取る。MモールなどMBIが運営する商業施設での買い物に使える。



資金を預け1年以上経過すると利子が付くのが特徴。ポイントも付く。このスキームは日本にも導入されている。

MBI Group’s Ampang store raided

Tuesday, 30 May 2017




AMPANG: Enforcement team from various agencies raided a store where shoppers convert their loyalty points in exchange for goods and services.

The team of 32 officers raided the M Square logistics centre, which is part of financial scheme operator MBI Group International, at around 11am yesterday.

The operation ended at about 7pm.

The logistics centre is located in Jalan Avenue 1 here.

The centre sells various products such as water purifiers, instant coffee, remote controlled cars and boats, powerbanks, massage chairs, watches, pens and bedsheets.

The raid, headed by officers from the Domestic Trade, Co-ope­ratives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK), also included police offi­cers and personnel from the Com­panies Commission of Malay­sia, CyberSe­curity Malaysia and Bank Negara Malaysia.

The team seized documents and computers for further investigation.

Khalid Tik, who is the ministry’s operations head for the consumer section of the enforcement division, said that the company was being investigated under several Acts.

Among them are the Direct Selling and Anti-Pyramid Scheme Act 1993, Financial Services Act 2013 and Companies Act 2016.

“If there are elements of wrongdoing in their business operations, we can take action under these Acts,” he told The Star.

Earlier, several customers were spotted at the premises, believed to be redeeming their points but were told by the staff that they could not do so.

A company employee also prevented the media from taking pictures.
