Playing out innocent people has been going on for generations. But the amount of money thus defrauded have greatly increased.

There was a similar event in 1986, if I remember in Kandy, where a motor spare parts dealer was involved and upto now, those who have ‘invested’ much money, have not been compensated. Many had sold properties and invested - due to the promised high rates of interest. Early remedial action, is the need of the hour. We have been taken for a ride?
