JAKARTA - Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (Indef) economist Bhima Yudhistira said that the case of breaking into accounts belonging to e-sports athletes Winda Lunardi or Winda Earl and his mother, needs to be responded quickly by the Financial Services Authority (OJK).
Bhima explained, this event set a very bad precedent for the banking industry in Indonesia. If it is not handled quickly, it will have an impact on decreasing public trust in national banking. Moreover, the funds that were lost were quite large.
"Because this concerns customers who have a decent savings of Rp. 22.8 billion. So the OJK should also follow up so that it can finish quickly so that people will also be calm," he told VOI, Thursday, November 12.
Furthermore, Bhima said, the restoration of public trust in banking really depends on how quickly the case that befell Winda Earl is resolved.
"Yes, this depends on how quickly the case is resolved, yes. The sooner, the customer confidence will be recovered," he said.
Previously, the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Wimboh Santoso, said that his party had seen the case of burglary to the Maybank Indonesia account. However, OJK does not want to precede law enforcement in making statements.
Because of this, Wimboh also admitted to being very careful in making statements in public regarding the burglary case of Winda Earl's account.
"We've seen, we've entered, please wait. It's not good if this goes before law enforcement. Because Maybank itself has already reported and its customers have also reported something," he said, during a working meeting with Commission XI of the DPR, Thursday, November 12.
Even so, Wimboh indicated that something was going on behind the alleged theft of a Maybank bank account worth Rp22.8 billion, belonging to e-sports athlete Winda Lunardi or Winda Earl and his mother.
"There is something but we believe it will be resolved objectively and transparently," he explained.
Wimboh said, if the customer is not proven guilty, the customer's Rp22.8 billion will be returned. However, OJK did not provide further details regarding the indications found by OJK.
"If the customer is innocent, the money will be returned," he said.
