However, only $190,311 has been repaid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Court documents show that the plaintiff Chen Rongying (transliterated) is suing Li Wenxuan (transliterated) over the alleged unpaid amount. The case was heard amid ongoing divorce proceedings between Li and Chen&rsquo;s son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The loans were made between May 7, 2018, and Sept 28, 2021, with individual amounts ranging from $1,500 to $200,000. Chen says that the funds were meant to help Li with a property purchase, living expenses, investments, and to trade cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">She also prepared four IOUs written in Chinese, all of which were signed by Li.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-[-8px] font-primary text-20 font-bold leading-30px lg:text-24 lg:leading-36px\">Summary judgment sought for four of the loans<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Chen sought a summary judgment for four of the loans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">In his ruling, the deputy registrar noted that while Li signed the IOUs, she did not admit to having received the money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">And while she claimed to have repaid part of the loans, Li failed to provide evidence such as bank statements or text messages to support her claim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The deputy registrar ultimately found that the prima facie evidence submitted by Chen was sufficient and ruled that the defendant must repay $175,689.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-[-8px] font-primary text-20 font-bold leading-30px lg:text-24 lg:leading-36px\">Defendant claims $200,000 was plaintiff&rsquo;s gift to son<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Li admitted to receiving four of the loans but denied the other five, claiming that the $200k payment was a gift from Chen to her son to invest in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">She also said she did not receive three other payments of $1,500, $2,500 and $20,000. Even if she had received the former amounts, Li said the money would have been spent on household necessities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Of the remaining payments, Li acknowledged receiving $9,496 but said it was for home renovations and not a loan.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/migrant-acquitted-in-first-trial-over-us-border-military-zones\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">Migrant acquitted in first trial over US border military zones<\/span><\/a><\/div><p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Sheadded that she had no obligation to repay it, but returned $110k out of respect for the plaintiff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">However, the deputy registrar pointed out that if the money was indeed a gift, it was unclear why she would return part of it.
