A WOMAN was jailed for three months on Monday for helping a man deposit $1.2 million worth of cheques into her bank accounts.

 

Sim Hwei Kian, 30, then withdrew $1.18 million and handed it over to 'Kevin' who had offered her $500 for each bank account opened and a further 0.5 per cent commission for each transaction.

 

After one year, 'Kevin'' also promised to give her $10,000 when the accounts were to be closed.

 

 

 

 

The Singapore Turf Club clerk, who was in financial trouble, agreed.

 

She had earlier posted messages on the Internet seeking financial loans. Among the many replies she got was one from 'Kevin'.

 

'Kevin' had also informed her that the bank accounts were to receive 4D and soccer bet collections, but in fact, the money had been misappropriated.

 

The four cheques had been cut from the cheque books of ConocoPhillips Asia Ventures and ConocoPhillips International and the signatures had been forged.

 

Sim pleaded guilty to a charge under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act which carries a fine of up to $200,000 or a jail term of up to seven years, or both.

 

On Sept 24, she deposited four cheques slotted under her door into her bank accounts. The total was $1.23 million.

 

Over the next two days, she withdrew the money totalling $1.18 million over seven occasions. She bundled them into bags and placed them at a staircase landing for 'Kevin' to collect.

 

On Sept 25, she withdrew $5,000 for her own use. This amount has been recovered.

 

Her lawyer, Mr Satwant Singh, said Sim was not the mastermind nor did she benefit from the crime.

 

Sim, who had failed her Primary School Leaving Examination twice, had never seen 'Kevin' at all. All she knew was that she was helping him with his illegal football bets.

FACT: The 1.2mil is IN HER BANK. She took out 1.18mil is COLD HARD CASH in bags!!

 

She should have planned a Maybank/Citibank account where she can withdraw the monies overseas.

Black-Eat-Black Kevin!

Then buy a one way ticket to China/USA/Australia and never come back.

 

Alternatively she can hid the 1.18mil with her trusted family members.

Then get her relatives to remit the monies SLOWLY (ex. every month) to some foreign account. She can Definately live like a Queen in China/USA/Australia with the 1.2mil!

 

For krist sake....the monies are IN HER HAND! Since she is in money problem...she should have planned this FANTASTIC deal with smart thinking. Now she lost it all again!

 

Its not money laundering of a few thousand leh....its 1.2mil.....lets say even if she kana caught and go to jail for like 7(MAX) years.....if she can hide the monies well.......then after hter jail terms.....she will be a millionaire still!!

Unbelievable. Now she go jail and "kevin" go scot free. Actually if she take the money and run, there is nothing "kevin" can do except haunt her like a loanshark. No way "Kevin" can go to the polcie and say he kena cheated.

 

This is the kind of time when honesty does not pay.
