Docker buys Mercedes, four Rolexes and spends month in luxury hotel after cheating sisters he met on dating site
Man conned ‘simple and unwordly’ sisters into believing he was a highly paid interior designer
The younger sister, Sin Lai-shan, 26, recalled during the trial that Chu Tak-fai, 35, told her he needed cash to replenish stolen company funds and help her make lucrative investments after they started dating last year.
But the District Court found they were all false claims to trick the sisters into making payments for his benefit as he later spent the money on paying off his loans, buying a new Mercedes Benz, four Rolex watches, three Louis Vuitton bags and a pair of Cartier rings and securing a month’s stay at a luxury boutique hotel.
Chu was convicted on all five counts of fraud, which he had denied.
Judge Johnny Chan Jong-herng said he observed that both women appeared to be “simple and unworldly” when they testified during the trial. “It was not surprising that they fell for his claims.”
