JAKARTA - Hotman Paris Hutapea stated that he as the attorney of PT Bank Maybank Indonesia Tbk hopes that there will be a win-win solution in the case of the loss of customer funds who are also e-Sports athletes Winda Lunardi or Winda Earl worth IDR 22.8 billion.

The well-known lawyer uploaded a video in his personal Instagram account @hotmanparisofficial on Thursday 12 November, in which he wanted a mutually calming solution for both. However, Hotman himself did not want this case to drag on.

This case has been seen and heard by the wider community. As a result, it is feared that public trust in Bank Maybank or banking as a whole will slowly fade.

"Please look for a win-win solution to this problem. Winda, the owner of my account, is invited to come to Kopi Johny and meet with me to find a win-win solution," said Hotman Paris.

According to Hotman, Maybank is a large bank with very strong capabilities. The bank which is led by Taswin Zakaria, said Hotman, has assets of more than Rp175 trillion.

"There will be no problem for Maybank to make compensation for losses, as long as it is legally clear. Please come without prejudice," said Hotman.

As reported, Winda Earl admitted that her savings of Rp22.8 billion suddenly disappeared in Maybank. In the beginning, he opened an account at Maybank Indonesia in 2014, and was a checking or savings account for the future so he never bothered.

He ensures all transactions or activities that occur in that account, without his knowledge and without his consent. Even if a transaction is found, according to Winda, it is an abuse of another party that he doesn't know about.

On the other hand, Maybank, represented by his attorney Hotman Paris, said that his party saw some irregularities in the victim's complaint against his client. First, Winda never held any savings books and ATMs whose funds came from her father, Herman Gunardi.

Winda actually allowed the suspect, namely the Head of the Maybank Bank Branch to hold it. Second, funds needed for investment should not be placed in a checking account.

Third, the victim was never uncomfortable and was not proactive in asking about the position and any mutations of each flow of funds from his savings. Fourth, the suspect made transactions on behalf of the victim and was not used for personal gain, particularly in opening insurance at Prudential.

Winda Earl's lawyer, Joey Pattinasarany, confirmed that his client had absolutely no idea about the flow of funds from his personal account for the purchase of Prudential's insurance policy.

According to Joey, the purchase of the policy was made without Winda's knowledge and consent. Joey said, Winda only opened savings at Maybank Cipulir without a savings book and ATM, and only received current account statements.
