SINGAPORE: A company director was sentenced to eight months' jail on Wednesday for crowdfunding more than S$15 million without a licence.
More than S$15 million was raised for the SMEs. The companies include Krish Chartered Bus Services, Glen Iris , Soilwood and three marine group companies, namely Adydas Marine Services, T S Marine Engineering Services and Scantech Marine. About S$6.35 million was raised for Soilwood by Noble between February 2014 and April 2015. More than 91 investments or loan agreements were signed.According to the statement of facts, the company started defaulting on interest repayments in August 2015, and its director Daniel Leong Soon Choy could not be located.
"This was a large scale business , handling vast amounts of money, without the necessary licence required by law," said Deputy Public Prosecutor Kenneth Chin.He asked for at least eight months' jail, saying that Tan was"clearly operating in an entirely different league" from other convicted offenders.
Without the licence and MAS' oversight, the risk of harm to the investing public was heightened, he said.
