SINGAPORE – The sole owner of a Shenton Way consignment store that sold luxury bags on their owners\u2019 behalf misappropriated nearly $140,000<\/span><\/a> from five victims.<\/p>\n Ringga Dwi Rizky Irianto, 36, who operated West Closet at the OUE Downtown Gallery shopping mall, has since made $41,000 in restitution, and she was sentenced to eight months\u2019 jail on Aug 13.<\/p>\n She was also ordered to pay $91,950 in compensation to the victims through an investigation officer handling her case.<\/p>\n She will have to spend an additional 24 days behind bars should she fail to pay the amount.<\/p>\n The Indonesian offender had pleaded guilty to three counts of criminal breach of trust involving a victim each, and they involved $108,000 in total.<\/p>\n Two other charges linked to the remaining victims and amount were considered during her sentencing.<\/p>\n Court documents stated that West Closet had advertised its services via its accounts on online marketplace Carousell and social media platforms such as Instagram.<\/p>\n Customers had to leave their bags at the store for 60 days or incur a $60 penalty fee.<\/p>\n West Closet would take a cut of the earnings after it sold the bags on the owners\u2019 behalf.<\/p>\n This cut ranged from $200 to $900, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Darren Sim.<\/p>\n On July 2, 2022, one of the victims put up three bags \u2013 two Hermes and one Chanel \u2013 on a consignment basis at West Closet and was guaranteed a total of $51,000 if they were sold.<\/p>\n The victim then received a notice that expressly guaranteed that once the bags were sold, the payment would be credited to the victim\u2019s bank account within seven days.<\/p>\n Ringga later sold all three bags and earned around $51,000.<\/p>\n Instead of handing the amount to the victim as agreed, she misappropriated the money by putting it towards another customer\u2019s order.<\/p>\n Using a similar method, she misappropriated $33,500 from a second victim who had placed an Hermes bag for sale at West Closet.<\/p>\n Separately, Ringga misappropriated another $23,500 from a third victim who had also placed an Hermes bag for sale at the store.<\/p>\n Ringga was arrested in September 2022 and was charged in 2024.<\/p>\n Her bail was set at $15,000 on Aug 13, and she is expected to begin her jail sentence in October.<\/p>\n For each count of criminal breach of trust, an offender can be jailed for up to seven years, fined or both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SINGAPORE – The sole owner of a Shenton Way consignment store that sold luxury bags on their owners\u2019 behalf misappropriated nearly $140,000 from five victims….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":76371,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76370\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/76371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
