Chinese national who scammed two people in Singapore out of millions of dollars was recently sentenced to 12 years in prison. During her sentencing, the presiding judge called 41-year-old Wu Hong a “heartless con artist” who led a fake investment scam she told her victims would fund Chinese gamblers coming to the country.
Wu appeared for her sentencing in court this week. She was found guilty of five fraud charges. Each fraud charge carried a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and monetary fines.
Wu met her first victim, Tam Kwong Yoeng, in a bar in 2013. It would take another three years before she launched the fraud, which also ensnared a 61-year-old victim, Soh Choon Heong.
