SINGAPORE — After being charged with drug offences and cheating more than 100 people who wanted to buy Nintendo products, Sim Wei Quan decided to give his court hearing a miss so that he could celebrate his 21st birthday before being convicted.
He then cheated more buyers online after realising that he did not have enough money to fund his birthday hotel stay.

On a related note, in other news :
This case involved a now 37-year-old communications director who contacted the accused via Twitter on Nov 17 in 2017 to express interest in buying four “Winner Cross Tour” K-pop concert tickets.
The accused told the victim that the total price of the tickets was S$1,800, and a payment transfer was made.
That same day, the accused told the victim that the price of the tickets had increased by S$100 for each ticket, which the victim agreed to pay.
However, on the date of the supposed ticket collection, the accused did not show up and could not be contacted.
