The total loss of the online fraud case with the mode of buying and selling shares or international crypto is more than IDR 18 billion. Currently, two suspects have been arrested. They are SP, who is an Indonesian citizen, and YCF, who is a Malaysian citizen. They are charged with Article 45 A paragraph 1 Jo Article 28 paragraph 1 of Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE Law). The suspects are also charged with Article 378 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 3, Article 4 and Article 5 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering (TPPU Law).[1]

Meanwhile, the Task Force for the Eradication of Illegal Financial Activities (Satgas Pasti), from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), warned the public to avoid fraud in the form of buying and selling shares or crypto. OJK asked the public to pay attention to 'legality' and think 'logically' before investing. "So we call it 2L. So if an information offer is offered, please ensure that the two aspects are met, namely legal and logical before accepting and using the investment offer, from any party," said Head of the Satgas Pasti Secretariat, Hudiyanto, at Polda Metro Jaya. He said also, for legality, the public can check on the OJK website. The public can also ask through the OJK call center to ask about the legality of the company.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
