Non-Existent,Gold Investment Scheme,Cheating

(Reuters) - Short sellers of cryptocurrency and blockchain-related stocks have suffered heavy losses since Nov. 6, after bitcoin surged to record highs, on optimism U.S. President-elect Donald Trump would implement a more favorable regulatory framework.

KUALA LUMPUR: A food preparation assistant at a hospital pleaded not guilty to three charges of cheating related to a non-existent gold investment scheme, Paddy Jewellery, involving RM310,550 between May 2022 and August this year.

He is also accused of tricking a 47-year-old hospital worker into believing he could supply gold at below-market prices, which led the victim to deposit RM156,650 into the same company’s account at a hospital in Jalan Pahang between May 13 and Aug 19. Rosdi faces another charge of accepting RM153,900 in deposits from the same woman through two bank accounts under Paddy Jewellery’s name, without a valid license, at the same apartment, between Feb 20 and June 28.

Judge Rosli Ahmad granted the defendant bail of RM35,000 with one surety for all three charges, with additional conditions including surrendering his passport to the court. The case is set for mention on Dec 10.
