Rise and Fall of the Empire
Beset by all sides by people screaming for refunds, there were
scenes of chaos today at beleaguered MLM company Sunshine Empire's
Toa Payoh HDB Hub office as investors, spooked by recent media
reports and ongoing investigation by CAD into the company's
suspicious business practices, rushed to withdraw their funds from
the company.
Many were left fuming as the company had recently issued a memo on
their webpage claiming that bank transfers from their company bank
to investors accounts would take 14 days instead of the normal
7.
Queues had stretched out of the company's office out into the lift
lobby where this reporter was forced to interview several
participants as many of the company's staff rushed helter-skelter
trying to reassure panicked investors. There were emotional scenes
as many people broke down in tears after being told of the
company's imminent closure.
"It's not right", some of the people, as young as 17, lining up at
the counter to process their refund, said. "My parents invested
almost all of their life savings in this scheme, now they can't
even withdraw their funds".
Many investors have threatened legal action against the most
visible people responsible for this farce, including the company's
mentor and adviser, as well as the company's president. At press
time, they were not available for comment. A junior manager of the
company sneered, "do whatever you want, you can't do anything to
us, we are united! Our managers are all driving luxury cars and
making 5 and 6 figure monthly salaries! Come sue us if you
dare!"
The attitude of a rat with nothing else to lose, standing on board
the bridge of a sinking ship. Yesterday the king of the world,
today the sinking of the Titanic.
Waiting for this prophecies to be fulfilled.
