Investment firm to return clients’ money

By Felipe V. Celino 

 

ROXAS CITY, Capiz – The legal counsel of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of 25-Day Double Your Money Investment Scheme vowed to return the money of its clients.

Atty. Vicente Atlas Catalan said his client Junelyn Gregorio is ready to return the money in due time.

Catalan said Gregorio encountered problems in the pay-out of her investors because one of her “upline” failed to remit the investment of some investors.

Catalan, however, did not name the upline.

At present, he said, the investment scheme is now conducting an accounting of vouchers and counter checking some documents of the investors for the processing of their payout.

He said the total amount for the payout has been determined as the group is presently checking legitimate investors.

Catalan said that Gregorio did not flee and she is still in the province processing the documents and papers.

He said Gregorio is willing to face whatever cases to be filed against her, but she is determined to return back their money.

Catalan denied the allegations that his office at the Capiz provincial capitol served as the payout center of Gregorio’s investment business. He also denied he has personal connections with the investment scheme.

He clarified that he met Gregorio some time in 2017 after she tapped his services.

Catalan is employed at the provincial government of Capiz.

Meanwhile, the five on-the-job (OJT) employees of Aljean Padua were held at the Roxas City police station after nine investors of Alcoins Digital Marketing Scheme, another investment scheme, complained that their PHP2 million investment is yet to be returned.

The nine persons who invested in the “double your money” investment scheme are poised to file charges against Padua who allegedly carted away their money.

The investors who asked not to be named went to the Roxas City police station on Tuesday and reported that Padua, 30, owner of Alcoins Digital Marketing Scheme and a resident of Caloocan City is nowhere to be found after receiving their money.

The complainants claimed that they invested their money after Padua promised that their money will double within a week.

Padua has since left Sitio Uno condominium hotel at Brgy. Lawaan here where she stayed late last week.

She also did not return to the Alcoins office located at the Capiz government and business center.

The investors tried to contact her but to no avail.
