Govt says influencer who thinks Moon is centre of solar system should’ve distinguished between betting on derivatives and betting through gambling apps

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)’s Financial White Crimes Division and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), in a joint press conference have maintained that yes, local social media influencers should be able to tell the difference between gambling through the international financial derivatives market and straightup gambling on “finance”-sounding symbols appearing on the screen of your phone.

“No, we do not care if Rajab Butt was seen in a video pointing out the sun to his nephew on a model of the solar system and saying it was the moon,” said DIG Mazhar Abbas, Director of the FIA’s financial crime division. “That is still no excuse for him not to be able to tell the difference between these two different, but in essence, similar things.”

“Yes, I do mean that this chimp, as you call him,” said Abbas, in response to a question about Saad-ur-Rehman aka “Ducky Bhai” not having the cognitive skills to evaluate differences between financial products and platforms. “This guy should have known better.”

“Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law,” he said. “They should have known what I didn’t right before I was posted to this position when I was RPO Hazara Division.”
