SINGAPORE: While working as a revenue associate at the Marina Bay Sands sport clothing store, he directed the false payments of over S$ 28, 000 ( US$ 20, 900 ) to his own bank accounts.  ,
After entering a combined charge of cheating, Tang Hou Wai Xavian admitted to the combined charge on Thursday ( Mar 27 ). He was given a six-month jail term.
The 24-year-old Singaporean initiated and processed a total of 64 payments for goods worth S$ 28, 342 to credit accounts linked to his own bank records during his transitions, the judge was told, despite no consumers being asked for refunds for those goods between April 17 and Dec. 18, 2023.  ,
No such things were returned to Lululemon because the transactions were false.  ,
His crimes first surfaced in January of that year when Lululemon’s asset protection section learned that the accused had received numerous refunds for the same goods in December of that year without attaching a guest profile.
The human resources director of Lululemon issued a declaration to Lululemon on February 6, 2024, informing him of the allegations, and a police report was released on March 13.
Tang claimed that he used the funds to pay his tuition at the school. He has since paid full reparation for the sum of money received.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Pei Wei requested a statement of between seven and eight months in jail on Thursday.
District Judge Tan Jen Tse stated in punishment that Tang had taken a sizable sum of money, but that entire compensation had been received.  ,
Tang may have faced a 10-year prison sentence and fine for lying.  ,
If someone is found guilty of an incorporated charge, their repercussions can be doubled as opposed to what they would encounter for a second offence.
