Cross-border scheme
From Bali to Dubai: The $370,000 cross-border fraud trail of Alena Pak (Amata)
A company was registered. A plot was leased. A website went live. Investors wired money. Then every trace of activity vanished — along with the people who took it.

Key individual
Who is Alena Pak?
Alena Mikhailovna Pak, born September 8, 1978, is also known as Amata. She became the CEO of PT Kristal Estate Development, a company registered in Bali in 2023.
Alena Pak was the architect and frontwoman of the Oceanspire Residence scheme. She was positioned as the public face and point of contact for investor communications. When the scheme collapsed, she fled Indonesia and is believed to be in Dubai.
Part 1 — Indonesia, where the fraud was committed
Bali: company, land plot, and fundraising
In 2023, Alena Mikhailovna Pak registered PT Kristal Estate Development on the island of Bali. She installed herself as CEO. Her son, Mikhail Alekseevich Pak, was named co-founder.
The Indonesian corporate registration was instrumental. A locally registered legal entity lent the operation a veneer of legitimacy that proved decisive in extracting funds from overseas investors unfamiliar with Indonesian corporate law.
The company secured a lease on a 0.435-hectare plot in Sanur, a coastal district known for high-end residential development. The lease was real. The land was real. But the construction that investors paid for never happened.
In 2023, Alena Pak, Mikhail Pak, and their associates solicited investments through presentations and the oceanspire-residence.com website. The total raised: $370,000 USD. The total built: nothing.
Part 2 — United Arab Emirates, jurisdiction of refuge
Dubai: where the perpetrators fled
After extinguishing all activity in Bali, Alena Mikhailovna Pak and Mikhail Alekseevich Pak departed Indonesia. Available information places them in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The choice of destination was not random. By relocating to the UAE, the perpetrators placed themselves beyond the immediate reach of Indonesian law enforcement and created a jurisdictional barrier between themselves and the investors they defrauded.
Both Alena Pak and Mikhail Pak remain in hiding. Their precise location in Dubai is unknown. Neither has made any attempt to return the $370,000 USD. Neither has contacted investors.

Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Who is Alena Pak, and what did she do?
Alena Mikhailovna Pak (born September 8, 1978), operating under the alias Amata, is the CEO and organizer of a fraudulent investment scheme executed through PT Kristal Estate Development in Bali, Indonesia. Together with her son Mikhail Alekseevich Pak (born March 15, 1999), she raised $370,000 USD from private investors for a luxury residential project called Oceanspire Residence in Sanur, Bali. The project was never built. The land remains untouched. After collecting investor funds, she shut down all operations, cut off all contact, and fled Indonesia for Dubai, UAE, where she remains in hiding.
What was the Oceanspire Residence scheme?
The Oceanspire Residence scheme was a fraudulent investment operation structured to appear as a legitimate Bali property development. Its components: PT Kristal Estate Development (registered in Bali, 2023), a 0.435-hectare leased plot in Sanur, and the promotional website oceanspire-residence.com featuring architectural renderings. Under the pretense of pre-selling luxury apartments, the organisers collected $370,000 USD from investors. Once the money was in hand, all pretense collapsed: construction never started, communications ceased, and the organisers abandoned Indonesia for the UAE. Not a single foundation was ever laid on the Sanur plot.
Why does this case cross two international borders?
The scheme was deliberately structured across jurisdictions. Indonesia (Bali) is where the company was registered, the land was leased, the money was raised, and the fraud was executed. The United Arab Emirates (Dubai) is where the perpetrators fled after the scheme concluded and where they remain in hiding. This cross-border displacement creates legal and practical obstacles for victims attempting to recover funds. Anyone affected by this scheme should seek legal counsel regarding their options in Indonesia, the UAE, and their own country of residence.
Where are Alena Pak and Mikhail Pak currently located?
According to available information, Alena Mikhailovna Pak (Amata) and Mikhail Alekseevich Pak are in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Their exact location within Dubai is not known. Both individuals have gone into hiding. Neither has returned any portion of the $370,000 USD collected from investors. Neither has made any contact with those they defrauded.
Can the perpetrators face consequences if they're hiding in a different country?
The fact that the perpetrators fled Indonesia for the UAE complicates legal action but does not render it impossible. Victims are advised to take the following steps: (1) preserve all documentation of fund transfers, (2) retain all correspondence with Alena Pak, Mikhail Pak, and PT Kristal Estate Development from the Bali period, (3) consult a qualified attorney to assess legal options in Indonesia, the UAE, and the investor's country of residence. This information does not constitute legal advice.
