Singapore MAS Issues 9-Year Ban to ex-OCBC Banker Ho Wei Kit for Cheating $130,000 from 5 Clients with Fake Time Deposits with Interest Rates of 8.8% & 11.88%, Sentenced to 30 Months Jail in 2022 , Incurred Debt from Gambling & Used Some Money to Pay Loan Sharks, Ho Wei Kit was Financial Consultant at OCBC from 2015 to 2018 20th August 2024 | Hong Kong
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has issued a 9-year ban (Prohibition Order) to ex-OCBC banker Ho Wei Kit for cheating $130,000 (S$170,000) from 5 clients with fake time deposits with interest rates of 8.8% & 11.88%, and was sentenced to 30 months jail in 2022. Ho Wei Kit had incurred debt from gambling, and used some money to pay loan sharks. Ho Wei Kit was a financial consultant at OCBC from 2015 to 2018. Singapore MAS (19/8/24): “The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) today issued a 9-year prohibition order (PO) against a former representative of OCBC Bank, Mr Hoi Wei Kit, following his conviction for offences under the Penal Code (PC) and the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act (CDSA). Between October 2017 to January 2018, Mr Hoi defrauded five OCBC customers by inducing them to sign up for fictitious time deposit accounts that he claimed were offered by OCBC. This led to a total of $170,000 being transferred out of their respective OCBC accounts, which Mr Hoi then arranged to be transferred into his own bank account. For his misconduct, Mr Hoi was convicted on 21 February 2022 of five counts of cheating under section 420 of the PC, one count of acquiring benefits from criminal conduct under section 47(1)(c) of the CDSA and one count of giving false information to a public servant (Mr Hoi was also convicted of one count of giving false information to a public servant with intent to cause a public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another person under section 182 of the PC (Cap 224, Rev Ed 2008). This offence is unrelated to his financial advisory role in OCBC) . Three counts of cheating and 10 counts of acquiring benefits from criminal conduct were also taken into consideration for the purpose of sentencing. He was sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment. The convictions gave MAS reason to believe that Mr Hoi will not perform financial advisory services honestly. Under the PO, which took effect today, Mr Hoi is prohibited for a period of nine years from providing any financial advisory services, and from taking part in the management, acting as a director, or becoming a substantial shareholder, of any financial advisory firm under the Financial Advisers Act (FAA).”
