So far, most of the company’s assets have been seized in raids,
he said.
Police are gathering as much information as possible to complete the investigation and welcome any reports from former GISBH members and victims,

On Sept 23, Razarudin said a total of 138 accounts related to GISBH had been frozen, involving a sum of more than RM882,000, while 15 other accounts were closed. Police also seized 22 cars and 14 plots of land.
