(QS, Al-An'am 6:32) Firman diatas ditujukan khas kepada juak2 Ustaz Haron Mat Saat dan mereka yang terlibat melarikan wang rakyat. Paling ramai adalah golongan berpendapatan rendah. Pelaburan serendah RM200 seorang ini menyaksikan juak2 dalam video ini memiliki rumah dan kereta yang mewah. Bukan sebuah malah YDP mempunyai 5 buah kenderaan dan rumah yang begitu GAH sekali. Apakah benar penafian yang mereka buat (DINA) mengatakan Bank Negara telah membeku asset yang dikumpulkan rakyat golongan ini? Sama-sama kita tunggu hasil perbicaraan yang tidak bernoktah ini, dan sejumlah wang rakyat Brunei turut lesap sebanyak BND 91 juta dengan 5000 pelabur. Tidak termasuk wang pelaburan dari Malaysia yang telah mengKAYA juak2 ini. Sedarlah wahai kakitangan yang terlibat, sesungguhnya kami yang tertipu ini tidak akan menghalalkan harta kami selagi kamu tidak mengembalikan modal pelaburan itu.
