After nearly 200 days of trial that lasted more than three years, Soh was convicted of 180 charges and sentenced by High Court Judge Hoo Sheau Peng on Dec 28, 2022, to 36 years in jail. Quah was found guilty of 169 charges and given 20 years behind bars.
The appeal hearing of convicted market manipulators Soh Chee Wen and Quah Su-ling will take place from March 3-4, with defence lawyers training their guns on key prosecution witnesses in a bid to quash the crushing sentences meted out for their roles in what has come to be known as Singapore’s largest securities fraud.
Soh, an undischarged bankrupt, and Quah, his co-conspirator and girlfriend, were found guilty of manipulating the shares of Blumont Group, Asiasons Capital and Liongold Corp between August 2012 and October 2013.
