KUALA LUMPUR: An investment and cryptocurrency scam ring with global reach has been busted following a raid by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) at the syndicate’s new hub of operations at an office building along Jalan Raja Chulan.

The MACC’s Anti Money Laundering (AML) task force conducted the raid, which was led by MACC deputy commissioner Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin, at about 12.15pm yesterday following the success of Op Tropicana last week.
