JAKARTA - The National Police confirmed the information regarding the suspect in the theft of the account of an e-Sport athlete Winda Lunardi alias Winda Earl, who never provided an account book and ATM card.

Furthermore, Winda Earl's data that he had obtained was immediately entered into the bank system. In this way, the suspect can break into money in Winda's account.

Previously, Winda emphasized that he had never received a savings book and an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card since opening an account at Maybank Indonesia. At that time, the type of savings that Winda and her family opened was a checking account.

Winda assessed that the transaction reports that Maybank gave to Winda as a current account holder were considered safe. This is because the financial transaction data (income) is recorded in the checking account that he holds.

"The type of savings that I opened was a checking account. So regarding ATMs, savings books, we never got it from the start when we opened an account. So when my mother and I opened an account, we never got an ATM card, we didn't get the savings book. ever got it, "he said.

However, Winda Earl said, since February, he and his family began to be suspicious of transaction data in the checking accounts they held. Since then, the family has asked for an explanation from the bank management to clarify these indications.

The suspicion continued until the Esport Athlete found out that Rp.22.8 billion in funds had disappeared when her mother, Floletta Lizzy Wiguna, wanted to take some of the funds. As a result, of Rp. 22.8 billion, only Rp. 600,000 was left.

"I just found out if this problem only arose when my mother wanted to take money but the money was not there. I wanted to ask for a transfer from 2015 to the current period when I was told that I had to have an ATM card, so finally I made an ATM card," he said.

In handling the case, the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit named the Head of the Maybank Cipulir Branch with the initials AT as a suspect. He committed the crime by offering victims to open futures accounts and falsifying data.
