E.M. alleged that Juliet is the one who holds all the ATM cards of Filipinas lured into the illicit operation, withdraws money paid into their dummy accounts, and dispenses payment to them each time a deposit is made into their account.

It would appear that Juliet, who is shown in pictures supplied by E.M. as dusky, long-haired and quite chubby, is indeed quite high in the syndicate’s pecking order as she reportedly offered a cut of up to 10% for every deposit made into a conduit account.
“Ang sabi nila sa amin, ganito. ‘Mag open kayo ng ATM (linked account), tapos ibigay ninyo sa akin ang card. Kung lagyan ng pera ang ATM ninyo ng $50,000 meron kayong $5,000,” said E.M.

(This was what they told us. Open an ATM account, then give us your card. Each time $50,000 is transferred to your account you will get $5,000).
Unlike other Filipina migrant workers lured into the scheme, E.M. does not profess not knowing anything about the illegal transactions she was made part of. She said a total of $1.2 million was laundered through her account, for which she was paid $12,000. Not quite the cut she was promised, but still substantial.

But when E.M. was arrested by the police on Nov. 24, she claimed not knowing anything about the scam because she lost her ATM.
In truth, “tinapon ko agad ang ATM ko,” said E.M.
To gain temporary freedom, she posted $5,000 police bail, then went back to her employer, who promptly terminated her, and told her to fly back home.
“Hindi na ako
nakapunta sa Konsulado kasi pinauwi ako agad ng amo ko,” E.M. said. “Bago lang

She said she was one of three in Juliet's ring that were arrested, and all of them jumped bail. Her next reporting day to the police was supposed to be on Nov 29.
“Hindi ako umamin sa pulis na may inilapit po ako, na wala akong dinalang ibang tao kasi baka hahaba pa ang kaso ko. Nagbayad na lang ako ng $5,000 tapos pinauwi ako on the spot ng amo ko.”

It would appear the two women became quite close because Juliet reportedly asked E.M., who did not live with her employer, to accompany her at dawn each time she withdrew money using the ATM cards supplied by her Filipina recruits.
E.M. said she also helped Juliet pack some five cargo boxes

E.M. said she decided to point to Juliet as a key figure in the scam so she could be arrested, and stopped from victimizing other Filipinas.
“Kapag hindi mahuli yan, ma’am, ang dami pang Pilipinang makukulong,” E.M. said.
(Until she’s arrested, more Filipinas would end up in jail).
At least four other Filipina domestic workers have been arrested for their suspected involvement in the money laundering operation so far. Unlike E.M., however, all that the women claimed to have received from the scammers was a measly $400 to $900.
They all pointed to another Filipina named Gemmalyn as their handler.
