    How can you sue someone for rejecting, and how can you sue someone for cheating? What kind of medieval law is this?

      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.

      I think there is some kind of language barrier here

        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 … 🙄

      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.
