Former Lawyer Tan Cheng Yew 's jail term extended from 9 to 12 years

[ray_of_hope]

Lets just say if he misappropriated $4.8 mil and he went on the run for 6 years. When he kenna caught he could return all back 100% and more because he made good investment etc. What you think will be the jail term?

Restitution is considered in sentencing. If the other party did not lose out he would still get a jail term, the extent of which would be dependent on things like the scale and planning involved in removing the money. My guess (purely a guess) is 3-5 years. There has to be a jail term of some significance otherwise other people would think that it is ok to do such "unofficial borrowing " of money.

Yes I agree suka suka take other people's money how can right? I guess this case the victim lost money big time la. $4.8mil is a lot of money.

He didn't subvert Singapore, he misappropriate church money and deceived his church members.
