The five (5) directors of the private company “OnmaxDT” who were detained in connection with a purportedly fraudulent pyramid scheme carried out in Sri Lanka have been placed under detention.
According to police spokesman SSP Nihal Thalduwa, members of the Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) have taken the gang into custody today.
Following their arrest, they were produced before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court and were subsequently placed under detention until November 16, 2023.
It was discovered that OnmaxDT was purportedly involved in a $100 million US financial pyramid scam in Sri Lanka.
The private corporation is one of nine entities that the Central Bank of Sri Lanka prohibited from participating in pyramid schemes in August of this year.
