00:00Hacked data is being bought from other countries to be used for scams.
00:05This is the first time 17 people have been arrested in a house in Makati City.
00:10According to the NBI, the suspects came from a bigger group and are now operating in a smaller group.
00:16Witness, Salima Refran.
00:22Hands up! Hands up!
00:2317 people have been arrested in a house in Makati City for Love Scam, Crypto Scam and Hacking.
00:31There are hackers and buyers of data.
00:34We saw a program code and script that can be used to access other systems without the authority nor consent of our system owner.
00:43We assume that they have activity in terms of hacking.
00:47According to the NBI, the suspects came from a bigger group and are now operating in a smaller group.
00:56The suspects came from a bigger group and are now operating in a smaller group.
01:01They are now occupying residential units and apartments so that it's not obvious that they are still scams.
01:16We asked them where their passports are.
01:18They said it's in the B.I. for the process of downgrading.
01:22It's a working visa but they are now downgrading it as tourists.
01:25They were inquested for online fraud and violation of the Cyber Crime Prevention Act.
01:31The GMA Integrated News tried to get hold of the suspects, but they have yet to be found.
01:37In Laguna, the PAG Corps, Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Paok, Binan LGU and Binan Police
01:45and New Wave Infotech Ltd. Philippines.
01:48But they found something different.
01:50As you can see, the computers have already crashed.
01:55The monitors, the CPUs, and as we saw earlier, the hard drives of those computers were downgraded.
02:09Obviously, they are hiding something.
02:12Because the first thing they removed were the hard drives.
02:15The digital evidence was removed.
02:19It's unusual.
02:21Of course, when it's about to close, the first thing we do is to get the valuables.
02:27We know that computers have value.
02:29The company is an IGL or Internet Gaming Licensee.
02:34But according to Paok, they have information that Lin Shun Han, alias Boss Boga,
02:41who is the Godfather of the Illegal Pogo in the country, is responsible for this.
02:44The other 12 Chinese who were arrested along with him,
02:47the middle managers of New Wave and the bosses of other Pogos, were suspected.
02:52Lin Shun Han is the big boss of New Wave.
02:55New Wave is from other Pogos that were raided before.
03:00We have a reasonable ground to believe that New Wave's involvement is more on scamming.
03:06Even though it has legitimate offshore gaming.
03:09According to Paok,
03:11We received a report that on Friday, when the boss was arrested,
03:15on Thursday night, on Friday, those who were staying here were his henchmen.
03:20We are still trying to get hold of the company.
03:24Boss Boga will also be called for the next hearing of the Senate.
03:28It is said that there is also a connection with Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo.
03:32According to Paok's witness,
03:35Guo reported to Boss Boga as Madam Hua regarding the establishment of Pogo in Bamban, Tarlac.
03:42Of course, she was annoyed.
03:44First of all, there is no truth to these allegations.
03:48Today is the deadline for Pogo's foreign employees
03:51to downgrade their working visas
03:54as a preparation for Pogo's departure from the country before the year ends.
03:59They will be given a temporary visitor visa at 59 days
04:03or almost 2 months to leave the Philippines.
04:06According to the Bureau of Immigration,
04:08only 12,000 people submitted voluntary downgrading.
04:12The legal reason for leaving the country will not be blacklisted.
04:16We will still have the opportunity to come back to the Philippines
04:19for legal reasons.
04:21But those who will be left behind,
04:23those who did not follow the policies of our government,
04:27they will be deported and blacklisted.
04:30Paok admitted that it is not easy to downgrade the 100 illegal Pogos.
04:35They also warned the property owners
04:38that the money of the Pogo operators who are looking for land should not be wasted.
04:43Please make sure that you do your due diligence
04:46because if we prove that you allow your facilities to be used for illegal activities,
04:52we will lock you up.
04:53We will file a civil forfeiture so that the government can get your properties.
04:58For GMA Integrated News, Salima Refra, for your Saksi.
