A Filipino who sold but failed to deliver a toy after
collecting payment of $2,400, was ordered by Fanling Court to return the money
to his victim, after he pleaded guilty to fraud.
But that is just part of the penalty that Nicholas Agus, 26
years old, has to face when he returns to the court on March 26, after posting
bail of $1,000 last Thursday (Feb. 29).

Acting Principal Magistrate Veronica Heung adjourned the
case after putting off sentencing on Agus, pending probation office and community
service officer reports that she ordered.
While this order indicates that Agus might not be jailed for
violating section 16(A) of the Theft Ordinance, he may be put under the supervision of a
probation officer.

Agus was charged with fraud after “falsely representing” that he would sell a toy figure upon payment of $2,400, to a certain Jeung Ying-chu, according to the police complaint dated Oct. 18, 2024.
This, the charge sheet said, “resulted to benefit for you
and prejudice for” Jeung.
