THE man accused of masterminding the 2013 penny stock crash told a remisier before he was arrested in November 2016 that he did not think investigators had a strong case against him, but he believed they would still find a way to charge him and seek a prison sentence, it was revealed in arguments before the High Court on Wednesday.
Lawyers for John Soh Chee Wen want the court to compel prosecutors to provide documents, including all recordings of conversations between Soh and that remisier, that they say are relevant to their client's bail application.
