David Murcia Guzmán
David Murcia Guzmán is a Colombian businessman known for founding the investment scheme DMG, which operated in Panama and Colombia. His company promised high returns on investments but was ultimately exposed as a pyramid scheme, leading to significant financial losses for investors. Arrested in 2008, he has since faced multiple legal challenges, including charges of illegal fund collection and money laundering. Despite being deported to the United States and later to Colombia, where he is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence, he continues to contest the seizure of his assets in Panama.
