Mr Cheriya and his partners had floated a ponzi company in 2009-11, called Forex Trade, in Kasargod in Kerala and lured gullible investors with a promise of exorbitant rates of interests on 61-day deposits and an assurance of 2-per cent commission per month to agents, they said. With the help of the scheme, he collected over Rs 9.98 crore of investments from people but did not pay the promised returns and principal.
