After the meeting, Edwar Seky then asked Betty as Commissioner of PT Millennium Danatama Sekuritas and LAC as Owner of PT Millennium Capital Management to sell SUGI shares, with an agreement that if Betty could sell one SUGI share, he would get two SUGI shares.
Based on the agreement, Betty, who manages SUGI's shares, actively conducts transactions among her own nominees, thereby successfully increasing SUGI's share price.
Betty was then given 250,000,000,000 SUGI shares by Edwar Seky whose transactions were carried out on a Free of Payment (FOP) basis through the ES nominee at Millennium Danatama Sekuritas.
From 2013 to 2015, after successfully increasing SUGI's share price through its nominees at PT Millennium Danatama Sekuritas, Betty then sold SUGI's shares to PT Asabri. However, because SUGI's shares did not have good fundamentals and were not liquid stocks, there was a decline in price.
Meanwhile, the remaining SUGI shares in PT Asabri's stock portfolio were then sold below the cut loss to PT Tricore Kapital Sarana.
