After months of delay, persons who invested with an alleged Ponzi scheme, Accelerated Capital Firm Inc (ACFI), have begun to receive their monies, Attorney Dexter Todd yesterday said.

Contacted for an update, Todd, who is representing principals of the firm Yuri Garcia-Dominguez and Ateeka Ishmael told Stabroek News that he spoke to his clients during last week who informed him that the repayment process commenced late last month.

However, he could not provide details on how many persons have been repaid, the amount reimbursed thus far or what system is being used.
