THE man caught running the fund-raising company Love Foundation last year while he was an undischarged bankrupt was on Friday jailed eight months on unrelated cheating charges upon appeal.

Former insurance agent Jasons Lim Hua Tong had collected about $22,000 from a construction company and misled it into thinking that he had helped it apply for performance bonds.

Originally convicted and sentenced by a district court last November, he had his appeal against the verdict thrown out by the High Court on Friday.

He also has an appeal pending on his three-month jail term for the Love Foundation case while he was an undischarged bankrupt.

The charity made headlines in April last year when the Commissioner of Charities' Office (COC) told it to stop all its fund-raising activities.

The charities watchdog, which received complaints of misrepresentation by Lim, said that he and his company were 'not considered fit and proper' to raise funds for charities.

The offences for which he appeared in court on Friday were committed during his days as an insurance agent, before the Love Foundation episode.
