The day before, the police said there were 126 online social gathering participants who were victims with an estimated loss of Rp. 2.7 billion.

As the case was revealed, with the appointment of a resident of Jalan Pramuka, Banjarmasin City as a suspect and detained by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Banjarmasin Police, other victims continued to arrive to report.

Investigators are still searching for the suspect's assets, including securities, immovable and immovable objects.
