“I betrayed my friends by stealing from them. And I've paid for it, literally and figuratively. Made restitution and now waiting for the court's final decision. To be very honest, I'm thankful they called me out on my s***. It was the wake-up call that I needed to snap out of the post-breakup pit of depression I was in after being cheated on.”

The Singaporean esports talent plead guilty to four charges of credit fraud. . Despite victimizing three friends, the prosecution revealed that only two people proceeded with criminal charges against Wong.
