After the viral issue, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) officially summoned Ahmad Rafif Raya on Thursday (4/7) yesterday for allegedly violating investment management procedures. However, for sanctions and actions, we will wait for the results of improvements from Ahmad Rafif.
Hudiyanto said, based on the individual licensing database at the OJK, Ahmad Rafif has a license at the OJK as a Deputy Investment Manager and Securities Trading Broker Representative.
However, investment activities in the capital market cannot be carried out by individuals. The reason is, the capital market must go through a legal entity licensed by the OJK.

He once worked as a stock broker at PT Panin Sekuritas Tbk. Rafif also helped create an education and stock management platform called Truzt Indonesia. Until finally, he was registered as an investment manager licensed by the Financial Services Authority or OJK starting 2020.
As the owner of the Instagram account @saatnyabelisaham, Rafif offers investments with a deposit system. It was even reported that this company had offered investments with a return of 40 percent a year.
Because the large amount of profit on offer makes clients interested in investing. However, when 34 clients with total funds of IDR 71 billion joined, it didn't bring good news.
Continuing to experience losses made Ahmad Rafif lie by telling investors he was making a profit. Even so, the influencer is reportedly ready to cover the losses as debt. The total investment value is IDR 71,811,674,410.
It is said that debt payments will be made in stages. Starting from 1 July 2024 and will end on 1 July 2027.
