US charges 2 Singaporeans, 6 others over global insider trading scheme
The Straits Times
|November 20, 2025
US prosecutors on Nov 18 unveiled charges against eight men, including two Singaporeans, accused of belonging to a global network that made tens of millions of dollars trading on inside information about the finances and merger plans of numerous companies for years.
-
Federal prosecutors in Boston said the insider trading scheme ran from 2016 to 2024 and was led by Samy Khouadja, a former Merrill Lynch banker in France; Eamma Safi, who co-owned a French restaurant with Khouadja; and Singapore citizen Ge Zhi.
Safi is in US custody and pleaded not guilty earlier in 2025. Ge, 34, was provisionally arrested in 2024 in Singapore and is subject to extradition proceedings.
Another Singaporean, Dev Ananth Durai, 39, is one of six other defendants considered fugitives, according to the US Justice Department.
