Hun Min Im news

Hun Min Im has been found guilty in the Auckland District Court of orchestrating a large-scale fraud involving Covid-19 financial support schemes, attempting to claim $2.3 million and successfully obtaining nearly $624,000.

Facing 91 charges, Im was convicted of 18 counts of obtaining by deception, 16 of using forged documents, and had earlier pleaded guilty to 54 counts of dishonestly using documents.

He created fake companies, used stolen identities from job applicants and tenants, and filed false GST returns.

The Serious Fraud Office, alerted by the Ministry of Social Development, led the investigation with support from multiple agencies. A sentencing date is pending.

  1. Should have run for political office. He’d be laughing all the way to the bank and no one would bat an eyelid.

  2. The rort pales into insignificance when one considers the COVID fraud and the instigated globalist tyranny through no jab/no choice facilitated by a government with its fountain of worthless printed money readily sucked up by a legion of socially narcosed parasites, dobbers and snitchers?

    • Brilliant!
      For completeness it should be mentioned that that sucked up money is nothing but a money multiplying/laundering exercise, the one that banking has exploited the peoples with since about 280 years.
      Indebting peoples via corrupted socialist goverment ‘credit’ is the MO that lies beneath. Thogether with no-reserve credit, compound interest and usury.
      The social legions, appeased and weakened, will wake up.
      Agonizingly late or too late?
      Ai will decide.
