It is said that Basco remained at the office after the incident, while hours had passed when Soriano started informing its investors that the company was raided by an alleged NBI agents.

A lot of people were confused as to why there were only 2 unknown individuals who claimed that they are working for NBI, no warrant of arrest presented or an announcement prior to the raid. Numerous investors speculated that this is only an inside job or it is only a way for the management to discontinue the said investment company. Meanwhile, the management employees who were present at that day also told that the owners Tersol and Cordova are with the NBI for an investigation since early in the morning and that Cordova is currently in trauma - a reason used on why she can't really face the investors.

Another contradicting side of story emerged (source came from the management as well), saying that the incident was a "robbery," wherein some speculates that it is an inside job robbery.

As of to date, there are rumors that the company will not refund all its investors' money, while there were also only selected poll of people who were texted to attend a certain "Leader's Meeting." Informants said that the owners did not appear on the said meeting, although an unfamiliar face, who claims himself as a company Lawyer, is present and was able to cascade that no refund will be given, particularly for those old investors.
