SINGAPORE – A recalcitrant offender committed investment scams and cheated three people of more than $200,000 in total, shortly after completing a jail sentence for similar crimes.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Lee Zu Zhao said: “However, after a few months, the accused lost a lot of money and could not sustain his business. His relatives and friends also began chasing him for repayment of their loans to him. The friend told a colleague – a 64-year-old engineering supervisor – about Farhan, and the trio later met at a coffee shop.
