The mastermind of the UNI Group is alleged to be one James, a resident of Malaysia. Till date, many top leaders including Kumar Kom, Victor, Rk Jiranjit are outside the state with their accumulated wealth from the pyramid schemes and the state has yet to take up any substantial actions in the regard.
