Did you know that Ann Boleche was one of those who invested in Yexel Sebastian’s casino junket?
ANN BOLECHE – The former EB Babes member, now the CEO of a skincare products company, has admitted to investing in Yexel Sebastian’s casino junket.
Toy collector Yexel Sebastian and his partner Mikee Agustin are facing allegations of being involved in a PHP200 million investment scam, leading to public scrutiny. The Bureau of Immigration has confirmed their departure to Japan and noted that no charges have been filed against them.
Yexel Sebastian responded to the accusations in a video posted on October 10, 2023. He mentioned an individual named Hector Pantollano, who supposedly owns the investment company in question. Yexel claimed that they participated in a legitimate casino event in 2022, and it all seemed legal.
The alleged scam came to light when investors sought help from Senator Raffy Tulfo’s program. An investor named Amal Rosaroso said they were asked for a minimum investment of one million pesos with a promised 5% interest rate. However, the contract they received turned out to be a “contract of loan” rather than an investment contract.
Among those who invested in Yexel’s casino junket is none other than Ann Boleche. She confirmed this during a sideline interview at the Gabay Guro media event, where her product, Relumins, is one of the sponsors. She is no longer active in showbiz as she focuses on her company. PEP Troika discovered that she and Yexel Sebastian are friends, which is why she was asked about her investment in his casino junket.
She only smiled and did not say a word. After the interview, she was asked again about her investment in Yexel’s venture. According to her, the toy collector is her friend, and she hopes to get her money back. However, she did not disclose how much she invested.
