Pyramid Scheme Executives Arrested For Money Laundering

Two more people have been arrested for operating an illegal money lending scheme and money laundering.

The money lending scam is called the Pyramid scheme involves the pooling and distribution of funds by recruiting subscribers. DEC public relations officer Samuel Silomba has confirmed the arrest of two directors at Rouzbrig Enterprises in a statement released to ZNBC News.

Scrivener Chulu, 58, a businessman of Matero, has been arrested and jointly charged with Davies Banda, 59, a businessman of Lilanda Site 5.

He said the duo have been operating an illegal Money Pyramid Scheme contrary to the Banking and Financial Services Act under the laws of Zambia.

Mr. Silomba says the continuation and realization of any benefits from the scheme depended on the recruitment of more subscribers from members of the public for unspecified periods.

The Drug Enforcement Commission – on Friday arrested two directors of the Lwesa Empowerment General dealers for operating an illegal money lending scheme and money laundering offences.

Sabwendo Simasiku 52 and Sida Lweendo 48, all of Lusaka are alleged to be operating an illegal money circulation pyramid scheme.

    Forever living is not a piramid scheme, it’s a multi level marketing co. otherwise known as Network marketing, which is legal in Zambia. It’s clean money which you have to work for.Just do your research and join us!

    It show that our laws are outdated, these schemes are all over the world, all what govt needs to do is legalise nd regulate them and make them pay tax considering that jobs are hard to come by. This will help reduce poverty in the country.

    DEC, any comment on Forever Living, Power Club or other Multi Level Marketing schemes? Incidentally, do you bloggers recall the Golden Products trading scheme of the late 90s? What happened to it? What also happened to Gorgis Food supplements and California Formula and the infamous energy booster brought into Zambia in the Late 90s by one Nkabika? Pheeew, am tired of writing…..

    @Rupiya, the impression created by Forever Living as evidenced by their recent meeting in Lusaka on Sunday is that there is easy money and that one is able to make at least K50m in 14 days just recruiting members to be selling their expendive herbal products etc. This seemed too eady and mudt have a catch someehere. indeed as Kapuli asks, can DEC issue a statemrnt on these schemes?

    so bad for the man. what i was thinking is that he was crating employment and helping the people not to bury money. what is self employment if that way was wrong?. how was he stealing from from those clever and out spoken women they showed on TV?.
