Crowdfunding firm sold S$6.9m sham invoices

Capital Springboard (CS), which claims to have crowdfunded enough invoices to outdo any other crowdfunding platform here - its website puts the figure at S$183 million - discovered last year that it had sold S$6.9 million worth of fake invoices to investors, all from a single SME (small and medium-sized enterprise).
