A man who was entrusted with selling one iPhone 4S and instead allegedly converted the funds to his own use was yesterday taken before the Georgetown Magis-trates’ Court to face the charge of fraudulent conversion.
Twenty-three-year-old Samuel Springer pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that between May 1, 2012 and May 31, 2012, being entrusted with a white iPhone 4S valued $160,000 to sell and return the funds to its original owner, he fraudulently converted the funds to his own use.
