He said the syndicate was believed to have been operating since April last year by offering returns on investments of 10 to 15 per cent per month and promising a supposedly secure currency trading system as well as a sophisticated system to attract the public. Zainuddin said police are still trying to locate a local man, Jason Kellady, 32, who is believed to be the mastermind. His last known address is Parlane OUG, Jalan 1/152, Kuala Lumpur.
