How can you sue someone for rejecting, and how can you sue someone for cheating? What kind of medieval law is this?
I think there is some kind of language barrier here
Not sued for cheating, charged for cheating, wtf
It's explained in the first paragraph of the article.
It's a fraud case. Different kind of cheat. To cheat here would be synonymous with to defraud.
Oooh, I see. Because of the multiple partners, I just assumed it was the other kind of cheating.
I think that headline could have been translated in a less ambiguous way.
Just read ... ๐
In the unrelated new case, K. Kawshigan, 31, is accused of working with one Cheng Zie Sian between October and November to cheat a man by engaging a courier to deliver to the alleged victim a sealed fake Macbook Pro with a legitimate serial number.
The man, who allegedly believed the device was genuine, is then said to have transferred $2,650 to a bank account.
