Lakam's arrest follows the issuance by the Office of the City Prosecutor of Quezon City of a resolution that found sufficient basis to charge her with the filed theft involving the alleged total amount of money.

Her case involves both withdrawals and online transfers from corporate bank accounts of House of Little Bunny Philippines Inc., which is a company owned by the Chiu sisters. According to the findings of the prosecutor, the alleged involved funds came from the sales and revenues intended for legitimate corporate expenses. 

While waiting for the court's commitment order, Lakam is reportedly being held at a custodial facility. In addition, the court set a bail of P5.838-Million for her temporary liberty. 


As of writing, Kim has not made a comment on the arrest.
