Vanuatu national Su Jianfeng, arrested in connection with a $2.8 billion money laundering case, has claimed to be the chief executive of a computer support firm called An Xing Technology. However, prosecutors argue that the firm is a shell company, and investigations revealed that it had only one largely dormant corporate bank account and no deposits in 2023. Furthermore, Su admitted that he was unclear about the company’s business and didn’t know its office location. The prosecutors contended that Su had little to no involvement in the company and had no true roots in Singapore, thus opposing his bail application.
District Judge Terence Tay denied Su’s bail, and three others involved in the case—Lin Baoying, Zhang Ruijin, and Wang Dehai—were also refused bail. Wang Dehai, a customer service employee in a Philippines-based online gambling business, was alleged to have purchased property with $23 million that partially represented benefits from criminal conduct. He was charged with possessing $2.3 million linked to illegal remote gambling operations and owning over $56 million in cash and assets in Singapore and overseas.
Lin Baoying, who owns over $215 million worth of assets, has had her assets seized by authorities. Zhang Ruijin, with at least $109 million in assets linked to him, also had his properties and bank accounts seized or subjected to prohibition orders. The case involves significant sums connected to money laundering activities.

The assailants appear to have targeted people because of their Massalit ethnicity and, in some cases, because they were known activists.){kind=link}
