Sakvithi arrested
DM Online – By Indika Sri Aravinda
The most wanted fraudster Sakvithi Ranasinghe and his wife have been arrested and are now in police custody in Sri Lanka. Intelligence sources told Daily Mirror online that Sakvithi had altered his appearance at the time he was arrested.
Sri Lanka had earlier sought Interpol assistance help to arrest the man in connection with what might have been the largest single cash defraud in the country. Sakvithi is accused of swindling some 9,000 million rupees. Police say they had received more than 1,400 complaints. Senior policemen, soldiers, a woman athlete, cricket players and prominent social figures are among the victims.
An arrest warrant was issued against him in connection with the activities of the finance company in which thousands of Sri Lankans have deposited their savings.

People in the country heve to be wise enough not to get conned by such schemers,when some one pays such high intrest rates one has to know that there is something wrong some where,oterwise we will have to re-write the enonomics books all over again,i do not expect the general masses to have an in-depth knowledge in finance or economics but the common sence is vital for survival.When something is too good to be true there is something wrong about it.(that is basic common sence)This whole incident of Sakvithie gives a good idea about the thinking of the majority massses,most of them would like to do nothing and earn money(staying at home).The world is not like that,people has to work(take a calculated risk and do a legitimate business or a work)that’s the way forward.
