Asep Edi Suheri said that Doni had only been an affiliate for the past year, until he could earn hundreds of billions of money.

"As for the suspect DS on March 15, 2021, using the Doni Salmanan YouTube account, he committed an illegal act of spreading YouTube videos about misleading false news information that resulted in consumer losses in electronic transactions," he said.

"The victims who were interested in the video promotion carried out transactions as if they were trading through the Quotex website, which ultimately resulted in material losses," added Asep Edi Suheri.

Asep Edi Suheri also explained that Doni never traded on the binary option platform that he used. He only created fake news through his YouTube account.

"So it seemed like the suspect DS earned billions of rupiah from foreign exchange trading, with the intention of convincing the audience to join and play trading," explained Asep Edi Suheri.

"However, the fact is that the suspect DS did not play trading, but only became an affiliate to profit from members," he concluded.

Doni Salmanan himself was named a suspect in the alleged binary options fraud on March 8, 2022, after being questioned for more than 13 hours.

For his actions, Doni Salmanan is charged under Article 45 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 28 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law, Article 378 of the Criminal Code, and Article 3 of Law Number 8 of 2010 on the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering with a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.
