A police officer accessed a confidential database

Tay and Poh had become friends in or around February 2020. On March 18 that year, Poh contacted Tay and asked him to perform a screening to check for possible ongoing police cases linked to Wang Yu Chi, also known as Raymond.

DPP Lim said: “Wang told that someone had made a police report concerning Wang’s company, and Wang wanted to check if he was implicated.” He then conducted a screening based on Wang’s NRIC information and found out that there were no records against the latter.But it turned out that Poh and Wang were then planning a scam, the court heard during earlier proceedings in 2022.

Poh then prepared $150,000 in cash that included sums of money that his friends had entrusted to him to invest in Bitcoin.
