00:17 The people of CIDG were suddenly involved.
00:21 They were involved in a pyramid scam.
00:24 CIDG and CR invited the officials of the company.
00:29 The group's scheme is called "One Day ROI" or "Return of Investment".
00:34 The initial amount is P72,500 and the minimum amount is P1,000.
00:39 In just one day, you will get your money back.
00:44 They don't say that you will use your money through online casino.
00:50 What they do in this scheme is that you have an upline.
00:56 You will get a percentage if you win.
01:01 The authorities were stopped from letting the group be a victim of the scam.
01:06 Despite their investigation, the group started its business in Singapore this June.
01:12 20 people were arrested, including 11 Filipinos and foreign nationals,
01:18 who refused to give their statement to GMA Integrated News.
01:22 -Ma'am, I cannot confirm if our lawyer is inside. -He's inside.
01:27 -Sir, let me just have your comment. -Let me check.
01:31 -Sir. -This is our lawyer.
01:33 -Comment, sir, on the allegation.
01:36 We also tried to get their lawyer's statement, but they did not give their statement.

01:51 According to the CIDG, Aguirre is one of the lawyers of ProCap International Inc.
01:57 In the video taken by the CIDG, Aguirre explained that there is nothing wrong with the company's transaction.
02:04 We are the retaining lawyers of ProCap International.
02:09 We are the ones who are in charge of this.
02:14 We advised them, because they have been operating here for only 5 months,
02:20 and we advised ProCap International on what to do.
02:23 We are not offering, they are not offering insecurities.
02:27 ProCap International is just a marketing arm.
02:30 The one who is really doing the work here, the one you are saying is offering, is InsureTech.
02:36 Aguirre was not arrested because he is not a part of the company, but just a lawyer.
