00:00 It seems that some Umanoy scammers are not being held accountable.
00:03 Mikey Quintos and Paul Salas and seven others were victimized by the artists.
00:08 They were charged with 8 million pesos.
00:10 Jonathan Andal was the witness.
00:12 [Music]
00:15 Together, the syndicated staffers filed a complaint with the Makati fiscal,
00:20 Mikey Quintos, Paul Salas and seven others,
00:24 after they were found guilty of up to 8 million pesos in the Umanoy Crypto Scam.
00:29 They filed a complaint with John David Del Castillo Ortiz,
00:33 Margarita Ortiz-Dan, Ralph Francisco Torres,
00:36 Delphine Hernandez Villareal Jr. and Julian Vincent Ortanez-Parado
00:41 of Cronus Holdings Corporation.
00:43 According to the complainants,
00:45 they were forced to pay their money to enter crypto trading.
00:49 They were promised 5% compounding interest every month.
00:54 Mikey got this from his one-year investment here.
00:57 But this May, they were again deceived to enter crypto trading
01:01 and they were promised to double their money within two weeks.
01:06 Mikey invested again.
01:09 After two weeks, three weeks, we were given a month.
01:13 We were not returned.
01:15 My future brother-in-law was the first to be connected to them.
01:21 So I think that's their modus,
01:23 that they will take care of you first if you give a sufficient amount or a big amount.
01:27 They got more or less 8 million pesos from us.
01:30 Okay, they ran away.
01:32 The victims' lawyers said that one of the complainants is still in school.
01:36 That's why he will be sent to his school.
01:39 This is syndicated staff, so this is life imprisonment.
01:42 Approach us. We're willing to sit down and discuss this.
01:46 Otherwise, we will push through with this case.
01:49 The Cronus Holdings Corporation was registered in the SEC or Securities and Exchange Commission.
01:54 Based on the Certificate of Incorporation of the company that we got from Mikey's camp,
01:59 it is stated that the company cannot accept investment without a secondary license from the commission.
02:06 We went to its address in Taguig based on their SEC registration.
02:10 But the barangay said that there is no such address there and they don't know the name of the company there.
02:16 We also went to another office in Makati, but the guard there said that
02:20 one of the complainants, David Ortiz, has not been going there for a long time.
02:24 We also went to his address and Margarita Ortiz Tan's address in Paranaque with the help of the TANOD.
02:30 But they said that we reached their house, but they are not there anymore and the house is being sold.
02:35 We called and texted them, but they did not answer.
02:38 We are still trying to get permission from the other three complainants.
02:42 Maybe the lesson I learned is not to be too good to be true.
02:51 Think about investments and don't go too fast.
02:54 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, reporting for 24 Hours.
