“Owe money pay money,” or in this case, don’t owe, also must pay.
A fake loan victim borrowed $2,000 from an ah long, returned it, and still got harassed.
The strangest part? The ones doing the harassing were two young boys—a 12-year-old and a 17-year-old.
Fake Loan Victim Returned $2,000 to Loan Shark; Loan Shark Sends 12-Year-Old to Target Him Regardless
On the night of 15 May 2020, when our 32-year-old fake loan victim went to sleep, he did not expect to wake up the following day to find his unit vandalised.
Well, no one ever does.
At 3:30 am that night, two young boys, a 12-year-old and a 17-year-old, vandalised the victim’s unit under the instructions of a loan shark who called himself “Gucci Boi”.
Guess you can say they’re all part of the Gucci Gang.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the 12-year-old boy used a red marker to vandalise the wall next to the victim’s unit, scrawling the familiar “O$P$”, some vulgarities, and a threat to lock and set the victim’s unit on fire.
The 17-year-old sprayed black paint on the unit’s metal gate, main door, and wall.
Imagine the victim’s surprise when he woke up at 6:30 am and saw what was done to his unit. Not very Gucci.
As it turns out, in April 2020, the victim borrowed $2,000 from an unknown individual we now know as “Gucci Boi”. Realising that he had just borrowed money from a loan shark, he immediately transferred $2,000 back to “Gucci Boi”.
But as we’ve said, instead of “owe money, pay money”, now, you still must pay even if you don’t owe money.
Even after the victim paid “Gucci Boi” $2,000, the loan shark continued threatening the victim, demanding more money from him. Eventually, the ah long sent the 12-year-old after him.
Loan Shark Enticed 12-Year-Old With $200 Fast Cash; 12-Year-Old Ropes In 17-Year-Old to Assist Him
But wait, if “Gucci Boi” only sent the 12-year-old after the fake loan victim, how did the 17-year-old get involved?
Well, the 12-year-old roped in the 17-year-old as an “assistant” to help him harass the victim.
I don’t think this is the kind of teamwork and collaborative skills schools are trying to promote…

Apparently, “Gucci Boi” had texted the 12-year-old via Instagram and asked if he wanted to earn some fast cash by spray painting houses. He enticed the 12-year-old by offering $200 for each house he spray painted.
At this point, the 12-year-old didn’t know who “Gucci Boi” was—but money talks, so he agreed.
The 12-year-old then roped in the 17-year-old to be his “assistant”. His literal partner in crime. They agreed to split the work and split the money.
The duo’s first task came on 13 May 2020. “Gucci Boi” provided the 12-year-old with the 32-year-old victim’s address, and the two boys embarked on their mission two days later.
17-Year-Old Sentenced to 12 Months in Reformative Training Centre
The 17-year-old faced a total of eight charges, including a charge of committing harassment on behalf of an unlicensed moneylender, voyeurism, criminal trespass, theft and rioting.
Collecting charges like it’s Pokémon.
Of these charges, the 17-year-old pleaded guilty to five charges.
He was eventually sentenced to 12 months in the Reformative Training Centre (RTC), given that this was not the 17-year-old’s first brush with the law.
It is unclear whether the 12-year-old boy was charged.
$200 to Spray Paint Houses: Worth It?
If you haven’t heard, loan sharks have been recruiting people to help harass debtors. And they’re doing it through Telegram.
Yes, you read that right. Loan sharks are learning to set up their version of MyCareersFuture.
According to a Telegram message detailing how much loan sharks pay, assisting with loan shark activities can get you paid anywhere from $50 to $400 for each unit harassed.
Paint runners are paid between $300 to $400 per unit.
Well, I guess our 12-year-old boy, who was offered merely $200 per unit, got a bad deal.
In any case, better to go the straight way and not dabble in loan shark activities.
