Penny Tai's Money Stolen By Close Friend (Now Confirmed to be Singer Jet Yi Jie Qi)

The suspect

A large amount of money was fraudulently withdrawn from singer Penny Tai's bank account. The case was solved as the suspect, who is a close friend of Dai, admitted the crime.

Tai recently discovered $300,000NTD were withdrawn from her bank account 3 days in the row; however, she did not lose her ATM card.

The 32-year-old immediately reported it to the police and viewed the surveillance camera. She later posted the video on her Facebook and called fans for help.

Just a day after Tai posted the video, she received a phone call from a male friend (now confirmed to be Malaysian singer Jet Yi Jie Qi) and he admitted the crime. They went to the police the next day and he returned the money.

According to Yi, he needs money recently and decided to use Tai for help. He secretly took out the ATM card from her bag and went to get the money; then he put it back when he returned. He tried passwords Tai used often for her computer and accounts when withdrawing the money.

Because Yi is a close friend of hers, Tai could not believe it and was very upset. However, she decided to forgive and no further action will be taken against her friend.

Some people believe the incident is Tai's way of promoting herself. Tai denied this on Facebook and expressed her helplessness.

"I'm not releasing an album right now, no need for me to promote. Thanks for hurting me again just after this incident!"
