JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Gold investment company PT Golden Makmur Citra Sejahtera (GMCS) had failed to return investment of Rp280 billion to its 1,700 clients.

The investment scheme has contract period of 4 months, 6 months, and 12 months.
Lucky Budiarjo, president director of (GMCF) told Kontan.co.id that the failure on returning investment to clients, scheduled for December 31, 2013, was due to gold mining problem in the United States, fund manager, and also trading issues.
Sarjito, head of investment alertness task force at The Financial Services Authority (OJK), said GMCF has no license to offer investment on gold, or manage public’s funds.
