A customer services executive of Maxi-Cash Ventures, who misappropriated $464,623 worth of gold bars and other valuables from the pawnshop was jailed for five years on Thursday for criminal breach of trust and money-laundering.

Desmond Kee Chia How, 27, now unemployed, pleaded guilty to misappropriating five 1kg gold bars, jewellery, two Rolex watches and cash of $108,737 from the Maxi-Cash Yishun branch at North Point shopping centre.

The offences were committed between July 2 and 4 last year.

He also admitted to transferring $308,000 to one Ah Di, an illegal moneylender he claimed to have owed money to, on July 3. The next day, he transferred the jewellery, watches and the cash of $108,737 to him.

If I have to use a pawn shop, I'd rather give my business to those which have been around for decades.

I highly distrust those upmarket/uniformed staff/aircon/endorsed by celebs/many branches islandwide pawnshops that (unsurprisingly) sprung up like mushrooms around the time when the first casino had opened for business.
