Chinese cook charged with fraudulent conversion
A 36-year-old Chinese cook was placed on a $400,000 court bond for fraudulently converting furniture worth $574,000 belonging to Clement Tamishwar, to his own use and personal benefit.
Zou Kim of Lot 7 Mahaica, East Coast Demerara pleaded not guilty to the charge which was read to him by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Monday. He was represented by Attorney at Law Fung-a-Fat who applied for bail and requested for the sum to be paid off in two days.
The prosecution stated that on April 7, 2012, Zou Kim was entrusted by Clement Tamishwar to be the salesperson for pieces of furniture valuing $574,000 but Kim fraudulently converted the sum to use for his benefit.
Tamishwar thereafter made several attempts to contact Kim who simply refused to answer his phone. The matter was subsequently reported and the defendant was arrested and charged.
Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry placed Kim on $400,000 bail and ordered that he pay the money owed to Tamishwar.
