Over S$700,000 vanished faster than an MRT train during peak hour, all for some glorified cardboard. Apparently, "adults" and "children" alike lost their "life savings" trying to snag an Elite Trainer Box for a few dollars less. Singaporeans, ever the astute investors, clearly saw this as a golden opportunity, not a flashing red siren. Who needs a CPF account when you can have a full set of shiny Blastoises, right? The alleged scammer even admitted to "gambling away" the money, a true Singaporean pastime, just with other people's cash. Maybe this is the new national sport: who can lose the most money on a blurry Telegram photo. Still, at least they got a police report out of it, can frame that up!
