$3 Billion Money Laundering Case: Su Jianfeng Sentenced to 17 Months' Jail

The sentencing of Dubai property broker Su Jianfeng to 17 months' imprisonment marks the conclusion of Singapore's extensive anti-money laundering operation. Su, among the last of 10 foreigners arrested in August 2023, pleaded guilty to charges including money laundering and forgery.

His case underscores Singapore's commitment to combatting financial crimes. Su's deceitful practices, including falsified property sales contracts and illicit transactions in Dubai, highlight the intricate web of illegal activities targeted by Singaporean authorities.

With assets worth $178.9 million forfeited to the state, Su's sentencing sends a strong message against exploiting the financial system for unlawful gains. CAD director David Chew reiterated Singapore's determination to thwart organized crime, emphasizing that criminals will find no refuge within the nation's borders.

The successful prosecution of Su Jianfeng and his associates demonstrates Singapore's resolve to uphold its financial integrity and safeguard against illicit activities.

"CFO of Media Company Charged in $67M Laundering Scheme"

Weidong Guan, also known as Bill Guan, CFO of The Epoch Times, has been arrested for allegedly orchestrating a complex scheme to launder $67 million in illicit funds. Leveraging his position, Guan allegedly managed a team within the company, dubbed the "Make Money Online" (MMO) team, which played a central role in the operation.

The scheme involved using cryptocurrency to purchase fraudulently obtained funds, including unemployment insurance benefits, which were then laundered through various bank and cryptocurrency accounts. This led to a significant increase in the company's revenue, misleading banks by attributing the surge to donations.

Guan faces serious charges including conspiracy to commit money laundering and bank fraud, with potential sentences totaling up to 80 years in prison. The investigation involved multiple agencies and is part of a broader effort to dismantle criminal organizations.
