"On March 5, 2012, the man was introduced to a woman, whom he talked into buying a good on credit and then – selling it for the purpose of lending the earned money to him. At the same time, he promised the victim that he will pay back the loan in full," an official representative of the Zarechny city court told PenzaNews.

He specified that on the same day the misguided woman bought a laptop for 34,990 rubles on credit, sold it and lent 22,000 rubles to the man.

"Being aware that he does not have any source of income and that he will not be able to fulfill the obligation, the man used the money at his own discretion," the interlocutor noted.

According to him, the sentence did not come into effect.
