Ex-bank staff jailed - tried to sell confidential info

A FORMER personal financial consultant with Standard Chartered Bank yesterday became the first person prosecuted here for violating banking secrecy laws.

Lucas Lin Han Tian, 28, whose job gave him access to confidential details of the bank's high-net-worth clients, tried to sell their names and contact details to businesses like spa chains and insurance firms.

Lin, who pleaded guilty, was jailed for a month and also fined $10,000 for selling the personal and financial particulars of UOB clients, which he is believed to have obtained from an accomplice.
