JJPTR founder Johnson Lee is hoping to prove that he did not scam his investors out of the money they had invested.
“Lee has sought help from his friends to probe the trading accounts that had been hacked but no clue has thus been found.
“Therefore, he hopes to disclose all the evidence and seek some expertise to help him,” a source told the daily.
According to the report, Lee had held a meeting with his 40 ‘Introduce Brokers’ (IBs) in Penang, to help him with the next course of action on the matter.
However, as yet, the JJPTR Facebook page has not posted any new updates on the matter.
Yesterday, Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Lee and his agents to come forward and explain the “missing” hundreds of millions, allegedly hacked from the company’s account.
He also said under normal circumstances, if any amount of money is said to have been hacked or stolen by any means, the victim should make a police report.
The DAP lawmaker gave the ultimatum after Lee and other JJPTR representatives failed to show up for a meeting at the company’s office in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
Following reports that JJPTR’s company account had been hacked, Lee said in a Facebook post that he had a plan to repay his investors across the world by the middle of next month.
News that the funds had been hacked from the bank account received mixed reactions from JJPTR investors, with some in distress over the loss of their money. Others meanwhile said they would continue to invest in JJPTR.
The investment scheme, popularly known as “money game”, was established in 2015 with JJPTR members asked to invest between US$25 and US$1,000 (RM110 and RM4,400) and promised a monthly return of 20%.
