The appellate court upheld convictions because the totality of evidence established that appellants dishonestly induced delivery of RM3.4 million by representing authority to secure a joint-development, diverted those stakeholder funds for other purposes (documented transfers and purchases), and possessed the requisite knowledge or reasonable suspicion that the funds were proceeds of unlawful activity; the trial judge’s credibility findings were entitled to deference and there was sufficient evidence of common intention and money laundering.
