Can someone explain the aadu-maanchiyam-teak controversy?

What's the real story behind the Aadu-Maanchiyam-Thekk controversy? Seen this mentioned many times in comments related to dubious investment plans. Is this the biggest investment scam to affect Malayalis? From fb investment related groups it seems as an investment plan on teak plantations which offered an unusual return and the company failed to deliver. But how it's connected to the ആട്? Don't even know if the real aadu 🐐 is the thing mentioned in this.
