It is further alleged that on the same day Gillian obtained$60,000 from Lowenfield by pretending that the six US $50 bills she exchanged were genuine.

The businesswoman later discovered that the money was fake and reported the matter to the police.
The prosecutor made no objections to Gillian being released on bail and she was released on $100,000 bail on each of the three charges. Magistrate Latchman adjourned the matter until July 17.
