00:00Have you ever thought about the convenience of life if you can just make your own money?
00:07Copy-paste, photocopy, or reproduce these?
00:11Maybe, sir, if it's legal.
00:13Of course, I don't want to.
00:14It's better to fight for it.
00:17September 2024, when businessman Elias Sedgwick met a Briton who was recommended by his friend.
00:24We were looking for investors for my company.
00:26He was recognized or somebody pointed him to this guy
00:32who was willing to invest in Filipino companies.
00:37In his desire to create a company, Sedgwick tried to make a living from his business.
00:42But he said that he would need a representative first.
00:47So, we had a communication.
00:49That's when the meetings between the representative and the first person started.
00:56That's why Sedgwick was so excited and they met the representative of French National in a hotel in Metro Manila.
01:05At the first meeting, Sedgwick met a Cameroon national who introduced him to Mr. Adams.
01:11After a short conversation about Sedgwick's company,
01:14it was good news that they were going to invest.
01:17I was expecting him to ask for SEC certification, business permit,
01:22and information regarding where we will bring their investment and stuff like that.
01:27But Mr. Adams didn't think about it.
01:31The representative of the investor immediately issued a letter of understanding.
01:35That's when they said that the rate of the loan is going to be 3.5% for 20 years.
01:43So, that's another red flag.
01:44It's too low.
01:46In order for Sedgwick to confirm that Mr. Adams' offer is reliable,
01:50they met again with Mr. Adams.
01:53After the first meeting, eventually they set a second meeting.
01:57We set the 30th of September.
02:00And this is with Mr. White.
02:02Mr. White invited them to go to the hotel room where he will give the investment money.
02:08When they entered the room, they were given a briefcase.
02:11It contained a lot of money.
02:14This is where the questions in Sedgwick's mind increased.
02:17First, how do they transfer the money?
02:19Let's say, two in each bills.
02:22They said it's going to stick together.
02:23So, while it's sticking together, there's a bunch of them in a box.
02:28Later on, Mr. White started a demo on how he can duplicate the money.
02:34Huh?
02:35Mr. White gave 100 euros or more than 6,000 pesos
02:40in exchange for 10,000 pesos from Sedgwick that he will use in the demo.
02:44He washed it.
02:46He slowly peeled it off.
02:48For example, like this.
02:50He also showed us that there's a stamp.
02:52Then, he removed the powder.
02:54When he removed it, he got a dryer.
02:57He dried it.
02:58He said, the bills are okay.
03:03You know, you could actually use that.
03:05After the meetings,
03:07Sedgwick decided to approach the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group,
03:12Anti-Organized Crime Unit or CIDG-AOCU,
03:16to report the fugitives.
03:17I want them to be caught.
03:19I will go alone.
03:20On October 14, 2024,
03:22the PNP CIDG-AOCU carried out an entrapment operation
03:27along with the receipts.
03:30Sedgwick met Mr. Adams and Mr. White in a hotel in Makati City.
03:35But far from the fugitives,
03:37he had two PNP CIDG assets.
03:41Why don't you tell me about the surveillance, Lieutenant?
03:44How did you get caught?
03:46On Monday, we went back to Makati.
03:50We showed them the money.
03:52We went to a room with the Cameroonians.
03:56They did a demo.
03:57Actually, they did a demo on how to do their scam.
04:02He started to put the money on the table.
04:05Look at that. It's a guantez.
04:07Those are the money.
04:09I'm wearing a guantez, Mark.
04:13Yes, because the chemical is a bit irritating.
04:17It's sensitive.
04:19Here are the money.
04:21He will put the chemical.
04:23That's the same process?
04:24Yes, that's the same process.
04:26After that, when Mr. Adams talked to our complainant at the back,
04:31he asked for 90,000 to 100,000 PNP.
04:36But while he was doing the demo,
04:38Mr. White stopped Cedric from using his cell phone.
04:41Cedric!
04:43I think Mr. White's magic show will continue.
04:46When we got there,
04:48we already declared to the police.
04:50What happened?
04:51That's when you were arrested?
04:52Yes, that's when we were arrested.
04:53He's here! He's here!
04:55He's here!
04:57He's here!
05:01Stop! Stop!
05:03Hey! Hey!
05:05Stop! Stop!
05:07Mr. White was trying to steal a gun from a CIDG operative.
05:12Stop! Stop, sir!
05:14The arresting officers and their accomplices and suspects arrived.
05:17Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
05:19Don't shoot!
05:21We are the police officers.
05:23You are under arrest.
05:25Get down! Get down!
05:27You just don't know!
05:29One by one, the police invented the items used by the suspects.
05:32They found a box with flowers, powder, gloves, carbon paper, and paper.
05:37All of these items were used for money laundering.
05:41Mr. White and Mr. Adams were talking on the phone.
05:45Is it true that you are scamming him?
05:47No, I'm not scamming him.
05:49What is your work here in the Philippines?
05:51I'm not scamming him.
05:53You're not scamming him.
05:55What is your work here in the Philippines?
05:58Bro, please ask them to...
06:00And why were you running?
06:02Because they bring the gun.
06:04That's why I'm running.
06:06They were told to lock their investment and demonstrate to the interested parties.
06:11Someone called me to go there.
06:13I don't know what I'm going to do there.
06:15He asked me to go and meet someone there.
06:17I go only to assist there.
06:19I don't know why.
06:21He asked me to meet his friend.
06:23I go meet his friend.
06:25They give us instructions.
06:27But they give us instructions to do it like that.
06:31They were brought to the custodial facility of PNP-CIDG.
06:35They are looking for cases of fraud,
06:37forging of banknotes,
06:39and using fictitious names.
06:41This is the first time we have attended this.
06:43But there are a lot of cases like this in the Philippines.
06:45That's why we are looking for their links to other groups.
06:51According to PNP-CIDG,
06:54Black Money Scam is the name of the two groups.
06:57What is the modus of this group?
06:59Black Dollar,
07:01they say they have euro currencies from abroad.
07:06The problem is,
07:08those euro currencies stick to each other.
07:10We can separate them
07:12using the mercury content of our money.
07:16Now,
07:18they will put chemicals in our money.
07:21They will put it in their devices
07:23to extract the mercury content of our money.
07:29If you have heard of double-year money,
07:33or scam like that,
07:35it's better to investigate first.
07:38Ask those who know.
