JAKARTA - The handling of the case of alleged crypto investment crimes that dragged the Crypto Academy entity into a new phase. The Cyber Investigation Directorate (Ditresiber) of the Metro Jaya Police has examined two figures who are said to be behind the entity, namely Timothy Ronald and Kalimasada.
Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Pol. Budi Hermanto said that the examination was carried out by investigators from Subdit 1 Ditresiber Polda Metro Jaya on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at around 13.00 WIB.
"Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at around 13 o'clock, two reported people have been questioned by investigators from Subdit 1 Ditresiber PMJ," said Budi in Jakarta, Friday, May 8, 2026.
Meanwhile, the lawyer for the victim of the Jajang Crypto Academy called the examination an important first step in the law enforcement process. However, he asked investigators to remain transparent and professional in handling cases that were considered to have harmed many of the victims.
"We appreciate the steps of Sub-Directorate 1 of the Metro Jaya Police in clarifying the accused. However, the entire process must run according to procedures and be open so as not to cause polemics in the community," said Jajang.
According to Jajang, the amount of the alleged losses suffered by the victims makes the investigation not enough to stop at the alleged cyber crime alone. He asked investigators to investigate the possibility of money laundering (TPPU) to trace the flow of funds for the victims.
"The flow of public funds must be traced transparently through the investigation of the TPPU. This is important to ensure that no assets are disguised or transferred to the detriment of the victim," he said.
Jajang also stated that his party would continue to monitor the investigation process until it was completed. He hopes that law enforcement officers can work independently and are not influenced by the intervention of any party.
In addition, he appealed to the public to be more careful about digital investment offers that do not have legality or official permits from regulators.
"Legal certainty for victims must be a priority. We hope that this case can be thoroughly investigated in order to provide a sense of justice," he concluded.
