KUALA LUMPUR (Debriefer)--A group of investors say they have been defrauded and victims of a ponzi scheme by a scion of the wealthiest family in Yemen.
Information obtained by Debriefer indicates that Marwan Ahmed Hayel, the grandson of Hayel Saeed Anam who stayed in Malaysia for 20 years, escaped to Turkey in 2019 with more than $1.7 million that belonged to the investors.
The sum was part of a capital the investors gave to Marwan under investment portfolio contracts in light of an investment and partnership plan he had submitted to them.
Debriefer has obtained copies of official documents, including investment portfolio contracts, bank statements and cash receipts, showing the investors' plight which it is going to cover in a series of detailed articles.
Efforts, both in person or through mediation, have been made in hope of reaching a settlement with Marwan to get our money back but regrettably he has been uncooperative, one of the investors said.
"The name Hayel Saeed Anam was alone enough for us to feel reassured and a decisive factor to have confidence that our money was placed in safe hands. We never thought we would be defrauded by the scion of the wealthiest family in Yemen".
Meanwhile, there are suspicions about the complicity of some family members and a large bank linked to the Hayel Saeed Anam Group in this scandal. The bank is said to have transferred abroad large funds from Marwan's accounts though investors say they had received notifications the bank was not allowed to transfer large amounts.
In addition, the board of directors of the group is not cooperating with the investors and is refusing to respond to official letters with regard to the issue.
Debriefer is investigating further and will publish more articles on this later, though some believe the suspisions about the involvement and complicity of the HSA Group are real.
