it is a spoof, a fake, an attempt to swindle you, Ye
Lin Myint, a Myanmar national working for the Singapore branch of Prudential
Insurance, targeted potential or former clients who rejected him in the
past, they were either potential clients who had refused to get insurance
policies from him, or former clients who hadn’t turned up for scheduled
appointments or had canceled their insurance policies, Ye used his wife’s laptop to register an email
account with a Switzerland-based email service that did not request any
personal, using the name “Lord Voldermort”, He then created a Bitcoin wallet
and linked it to the email account and started sending threatening letters to
his victims, requesting one Bitcoin in exchange for their safety and that of
their families, although Ye’s defense lawyers tried to sway judges into
showing leniency by claiming that he suffered from a mild depression and
struggled with financial problems during the time he committed his
crime, District Judge Marvin Bay pointed out that the man’s letters were
“malicious and cruel”, “For the past few months, I have been monitoring you and your
wife and I know everything about you and your family. I know where you live,
where you work,” one of the scammer’s emails read, “I can make your life
total humiliated and miserable in your Myanmar community. I can make you
become jobless. I can even physically harm you and your wife and your parents
if I want to.”

(your daughter) will be safe or not?” the scammer wrote in one of his
letters, the fanciful use of character names such as Harry Potter’s
nemesis Lord Voldemort and Dr Bruce Banner should not distract from the
malicious purpose of Ye’s threatening messages, the judge concluded, so it looks like a stretch in Azkaban for Ye!
