Major setback in repayment of ‘Ponzi scheme’ victims

Ateeka Ishmael and Yuri Garcia-Dominguez

Persons who invested with Accelerated Capital Firm Inc (ACFI) seeking big returns are now at risk of losing their money as the companies which piloted the trading of the funds have since terminated their contracts with the firm.

This is according to Attorney Dexter Todd, who in an invited comment recently told Stabroek News that the company is now hoping to engage the relevant authorities in the hopes of resolving the issue.

“Mr (Yuri ) Dominguez (of ACFI) would have had held accounts with Prime Trust and CoinZoom. These are holding companies for the bitcoins. Now because of the investigation……the effect of what they did is that both holding companies have now severed their agreements with Mr Dominguez. So they will not allow any business in terms of converting the bitcoins through them to facilitate the monies coming back to Guyana,” Todd explained.
