– It’s been almost four years. It’s a long time to be alone about it. I think it is shameful and very painful, the fraud woman tells Nettavisen. She has told very few friends about the treatment and financial abuse she has been through.
– Very often I got not to think about it, but just to live. When it has stormed at its worst, it has been terrible. I haven’t been able to sleep. I can’t put this behind me until I get the money back, she says.
A man, 31, was sentenced to 17 months in prison in Oslo District Court for defrauding the woman and several companies. In addition to the prison sentence, he has also been sentenced to pay back the money he defrauded. In total, we are talking about almost NOK 1 million.
The man’s defender, Norman Tingstad, says that his client is considering appealing the sentence, but he does not want to comment beyond that.
So the man defrauded the woman with the biggest amount so far. The two had a relationship about 10 years ago. In January 2021, they were contacted again via social media.
Share purchases
The man convinced the woman that she could make a stock coup if she invested in the AMC Entertainment movie theater chain. The man was so sure of a profit that he made an agreement with his girlfriend in which he promised that he would cover any loss on the investment of the share.
– I believed in him. Today I understand that he has deceived other people as well, but I didn’t know that at the time, she says.
The woman trusted her ex-boyfriend and hoped to get a quick profit on her savings. In the agreement, he was to invest NOK 770,000 in shares in AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. for his lover. The money was transferred at the end of January 2021. At the beginning of February, he bought shares in the company for NOK 570,000. He used the rest of the money himself.
Soon after, between February 16 and March 16, he sold the shares for a total of NOK 511,000. Instead of transferring the money, he used it on himself.
HIMMELS: The man promised gains in AMC shares, but even though the stock went up, he used the money he was supposed to invest for the woman.
To heaven
Now it must be said that the shares in AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. were a very good investment. in January 2021. The company had been struggling due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and at the beginning of the year 2020/2021 the share was below 10. dollars. Then he got a lot of attention from small investors. From the beginning of January to May, it went up well above 40 dollars.

But the course was very difficult in these months. There were many ups and downs, and it was at this time that the condemned man bought and sold the shares.
If he had allowed the shares to remain until June 18, the 770,000 kroner could have been much more. From May 7 to June 18, the stock rose from $42 to $261. The woman’s savings could be multiplied.

– He wanted more money
But this bonanza did not appeal to a woman. Instead, she fought to get her savings back. The former lover admitted that he had the money before, and signed a promissory note saying this.
In the Oslo district court, he believed that these promissory notes showed that he had not defrauded his ex-husband but that he had “merely” obtained a loan. The court rejected this explanation and accepted that the two had an agreement about the purchase of shares and that it was not complied with.
The woman tells Nettavisen that her now-convicted ex-boyfriend cheated her of more than 770,000 kroner.
– He has always promised to pay the money back. Then he has asked me to transfer money to pay taxes to return the money. He cheated me for a lot more than the 770,000 kroner, she says and sends out pictures of text messages that show how the ex-boyfriend went on to get more money.
MORE MONEY: The woman tells Nettavisen that her ex-boyfriend asked her for more money even after transferring NOK 770,000. She has sent us these message exchanges, among other things, to document this.
Fraud, fraud, fraud
At the same time that the old person wanted their money, the 31-year-old man, according to the judgment of the Oslo District Court, continued to deceive other people.
He pretended to be the managing director of a named company and bought goods and services from this company: He ordered Peppe’s Pizza for NOK 5,000, food from the Limòn restaurant chain for NOK 10,000, he bought goods from Asko for NOK 90,000, and burned NOK 61,000. at the Hotel Karl Johan.
He also tried to order furniture from Frogner House and Bohus, goods from Engrosnett and watches from Milrab AS, but these fraudulent attempts were discovered. The man pleaded guilty to that fraud and tried to defraud.
In addition, he bought, through his father’s own company, and without his father’s permission, 500 unspecified cinema tickets – known as “Norwegian tickets” – for NOK 60,000. More than 200 tickets were used, but when payment for the tickets failed, Filmweb AS canceled the rest of the electronic tickets. The innocent man pleaded guilty to this, because he thought he was meant to pay.
Reduction of penalty
The sentence in the Oslo district court does not add to the man’s fraudulent activities. In 2023, he was acquitted of a charge of gross fraud and acquitted of a charge of simple fraud.
To wake up the NOK 770,000, he should have made a deposit for his girlfriend, the district court believes that the punishment should have been eight months in prison initially, but because of his long stay with the police (the former lover said about the relationship. in March 2022) the punishment for this relationship was set at four months.
Combined with the other penal conditions, the total sentence was 17 months in prison.
