Several executives of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) have revealed that they were allegedly bribed by Alice Guo to stay quiet.

According to the testimony of an individual known as “Alex,” who claimed to be the treasurer of Zun Yuan Technology, Guo’s camp approached them in 2023, offering a monthly bribe of P20,000.

In exchange, their names were to be used as incorporators of a POGO company.

“Alex” stated that both he and the corporate secretary of Zun Yuan accepted the offer until the POGO operation was raided.

Their names were used in the company, and they were summoned by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), House of Representatives, and Senate.

After the raid, a staff member of Guo’s team, identified as Jeremy Santos, allegedly offered each executive P500,000 to change their addresses and remain silent, assuring them that Guo’s camp would handle the case.
