A former boutique manager of Piaget was jailed for 51/2 years on Monday for pocketing $776,160 belonging to her employer.

 

Chua Soh Keow, 49, had pleaded guilty to three of six charges of criminal breach of trust of a total of $749,759 belonging to Richemont Luxury, the main distributor of Piaget brand of luxury watches and jewellery, between 2006 and 2009. The remaining three charges were taken into consideration.

 

Chua was managing the Ngee Ann City boutique when she misappropriated money collected from the company's customers. Chua, who surrendered herself in March 2009, failed to register every sale or after-sales service transaction into the company's system, and issue a system-generated invoice to the customer upon collection of payment.

 

She used the money misappropriated for her personal expenses and for betting purposes - about $9,000 in bets every week.

Woah, 9k a week on bets? If she bought property and flipped, wouldn't it have covered her capitals + give her gains? What she bet on?

The system also quite screwed up, 2006 to 2009 did the crime, now then caught, now then charge. Maybe if not for the last one, Chua can get away with taking the money already.
