The Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday said that a bank account was opened at the beginning of this month in order to facilitate the return of millions of dollars invested by persons in suspected Ponzi scheme, Accelerated Capital Firm (ACF) however there has been no progress.
No funds were transferred into the account by the company principals, Yuri Garcia-Dominguez and Ateeka Ishmael after they were reportedly ordered by their lawyer to not conduct any transactions until the charges against them are withdrawn by the police.
This disclosure was made yesterday by Police spokesman Assistant Commission-er Royston Andries-Junor. He was at the time responding to claims made at a press conference on Tuesday by the couple’s lawyer that a bank account was never provided to initiate reimbursement of the funds.
