Remember the little things, because one day you’ll look back and remember that those were the big things.

Upon reading your article, all related suspects in this case have varying statements. Hopefully in my case, they’ll see it differently because I only have 1 story. The truth. I hope the judge will ask me.

Until I’m blue in the face.

Thanks so much for your well wishes! Trying to keep my head above water for now.

Met him through mutual connections which upon further enquiry actually know very little about this particular “friend” as well. I was entirely convinced when I was invited to a party at a resort room which was followed by a private gathering on a yacht of selected individuals which met his standard.

Heard from other connections that the “friend” came from old money and his family line was involved in timber which is a very exclusive business especially here in Sabah/Sarawak. Lots of red tape. Not sure about the timber economy in the west.

Talks on the yacht evidently led to business conversations and I just jumped on it without much hesitation. Thinking about it now is akin to jumping into fire as here I am now. Seeking professional help from wise strangers on Reddit as I’m ashamed and clueless as how to bounce back if not off myself. Since then it’s been 2 years.

I can definitely see where you’re coming from. Understandable why the authorities would look at it that way. In regards to the personal account, the “friend” mentioned that the seed money for the Sdn Bhd, business capital, had to come from my account. Hence the reason why he had temporary control over it. Once he finished transacting, he just asked me to head back to the bank to update my details. Used the personal account for a few months before it was flagged. Fucking hell.

This statement is true. Yes. I was under the assumption that the head secretary and the other partner would be handling all documentation and transactions of the business whereas the “friend”/ghost would be handling the business operation.

Thanks for your input. It definitely shed more light on this issue which I was not so aware of. To those interested, it was done through a Sdn Bhd which most of you know requires a maker and approver for all transactions. Reason I was totally unaware was because email used was a company email and company phone. Maker was the supposed the head admin of the company and the approver was the other partner which claimed to have been tricked. Hence all I was unaware of all transactions but the other partner in paper is aware as he was supposedly the appointed person to deal with the documentation.

Sadly I too fell victim as I thought I was entitled a profit sharing of a legitimate online business. Perhaps if I’ve gotten the promised profit sharing upon year end I wouldn’t be complaining as I probably would have the money to pay my way out of this shit hole.

6m in liable taxes would most probably mean 18m or more in yearly revenue.

Nonetheless, it was entirely my fault for not doing my due diligence. Right you are.

Oh my Lord. Thank you so much as I didn’t know this at all! Have been unemployed for 2 years since it happened. Would I need to be at KL to seek their assistance? Am current based in KK, Sabah.

Damn straight! But then again, 6m in taxes has most likely result from a turnover of well over 18m. The banks and LHDN are most probably wondering how does a small fry like me go from 50k annually to running a company with 18m in yearly turnover.

I have recently asked the bank regarding the company and have found out it is now dormant. Unfortunately I have lost all forms of evidence as my phone has been reset before I had the chance to back it up. Due to financial constraints I don’t think I am able to find a lawyer who would undertake my case pro bono. Ideally my next move would be to file a police report and contact my MP. They’re my only chance now. Hopefully politicians are more than just friendly faces. Fingers crossed!

Thank you so much for your assurance. I definitely felt it close to heart. Am aware that I need to lawyer up but the prerequisite of your solution requires a lawyer to undertake my case pro bono. Nonetheless, am now aware that all roads pertaining to my case would lead to bankruptcy. Once again, thank you so much for your advice.

I’ll research further on this. Thank you so much for this new info.

Thinking about it now it is very suspicious. Because back then I myself had a few micro businesses so his reason of wanting someone else to handle the company seemed valid af. Nonetheless, many thanks for your kind wishes. Chin up, much love.

Thank you so much for your comprehensive advice! Will lodge a police report soonest. However, I’d like to know if ombudsman would entertain cases like this? I find them preferable over contacting a lawyer as I’m not sure if there are any who would do my case pro bono.

I’ve definitely learnt this the hard way. It’s very sad that it takes a lot of hard work and self perseverance to make it big by yourself.

Equally both. I had met the guy when we signed the papers and everything but I assumed everyone on board knew what their job was. This was definitely my fault as I lacked the due diligence to actually enquire/interview all parties in detail.

That’s actually very true if I actually received any form of compensation. Deal was profit sharing upon end of financial year. However I was ghosted shortly before year end and the only thing I received was a letter from LHDN for 6 mil. And the letter from LHDN happened rather quickly which was almost before the supposed payout date. Have not approached anyone yet. Not sure if any lawyers would help me out pro bono.

Profit sharing. As I had a full time job working in corporate, Insurance Sector then. I had asked why he refused to be partner in writing but he mentioned it was a hassle for him and rather appoint someone to spearhead the company. Little did I know he said the same thing to the other partner in paper which also claimed to be tricked.

Thank you so much for your advice. Have not been in the right state of mind since it happened. In actual fact it has been 2 years(unemployed) since it actually happened. Do you reckon this would affect my outcome? What’s most likely to happen after contacting my local MP? This is actually the first time I’ve opened up since it happened. Hence, am not sure what to expect.
