Sunshine boss gets 3 weeks deferment before serving jail

[Freestylers09]

I think this case on mlm

 

So not v similiar like others

 

Anyway 9years in jails,give me 10million i also

dont want

 

say easy,when go in liao,diff story

[Lala81]

I still feel the sentence is too light. Bernard Madoff got 150 years. Scott W. Rothstein got 50 years.

 

Koh Seah Wee of SLA fame got 22 years for 12.5million.

 

I would put James Phang damage more severely to public than Koh's. A sentence of 30 years would be more appropriate.

 

The message to such people will be you will never see the daylight again to enjoy the spoils.

 

Yes he cheated individuals. I think he deserves a longer sentence

[Lammy84]

I remember there was this b*tch flaunting abt her BF working in the Sunshine empire a while back. Kept claiming it was a legitimate business.

Too bad alot of money was already leaked out to all those chao ah bengs dressed in suits always in "power" meetings at macdonalds at the tpy hug.

 

Hope he dies in jail.

too greedy leads to downfall..

the defendant claim the public greedy so must share the blame, SLA left right centre also cannot be their fault

[Ngck]

i dunno how those victims brains are wired... but they are partly to blame themselves....

While I agree that the 'investors' are motivated by immediate financial gain, to defend the action of James Phang and his cohort using that is akin to blaming any victim's vulnerability in any criminal activity. Nearly all financial scams exploits the victims' greed and gullibilty so that does not make the perpetrators any less responsible for their scheme. If so, we are setting a very dangerous precedent for other cases that follows i.e to allow the severity of the punishment proportional to the victim's greed or vulnerability.

 

Going along the same line, SLA as an organization was negligent that it allowed 2 of it's executives to make off with such a large amount of money over a long period of time. Does that make the crime of the 2 person involve less serious in anyway? It is just like if you leave your door opened, then the burglar's defence will be that the door was opened anyway, therefore he is less guilty. Apparently, we know that it is not the vulnerability of the system that determines the level of responsibilty a person should bear in white-collar crimes.

 

For the action of James Phang, numerous families and friends are wrecked directly as a result but in the SLA case, the impact is not so obvious. Therefore, I think that 9 years for James Phang is woefully inadequete both as a punishment and deterrent to future scammers. A sentence of 30-40 years will make sure most of these potential scammers will not live to spend their ill-gotten gains even after they serve their time.

read some where that he had a feng-shui brother, so to say he had been guided all along ?

 

or this is what the feng-shui brother learned/study feng-shui to help conmen ?

 

This one?

 

[1fast1]

Some bros can't even get deferment from ICT when they're in a new job, but these guys can get deferment from a prison sentence?

 

(Yes, yes, I know they're not comparable, but it still reeks).

Agreed.

 

(But we all know the SLA guy cheated the elite of the elites, zheng hu himself, and this guy only cheated the peasants).

I totally agree with you and beyond that, alot of the victims are not purely lulled by financial gain.

A first batch of "market aunties" were employed and paid to spread the word amongst their friends. Cheating educated white collar workers with such idiotic projections is one thing, making use of the elderly AND the young and gullible is a whole new different level. This James phang is a bigger coward preying on the old folks. At least those fools conned by madoff are supposed to be the la cremme de crop, highly paid financial gurus and/or successful people in their own rights.

[Lammy84]

Needless to say, I cbf and remained seated drinking my teh peng. All of the rest stared at me as if i just offended the emperor or something.

Only goes to show that the rest are dumbfarks.

[Lammy84]

more like brainwashed la,

 

They sold dreams of bmw, provided alot of "brotherhood". Easy dream to swallow, even easier for the company to fufil the dreams of a few so the rest are even more motivated and have greater belief.

They also feel like they belong somewhere, belong to a part of something greater.

 

Me? I knew well enough that most of them are prolly gonna end up at the bottom of the foodchain, kena fed upon rather than feed upon people
