February 22, 2025

A 53-year-old man allegedly provided details of his bank accounts to someone he met online.

- Andrew Wong

Chong Tak Meng later received more than $59,000 in the accounts, which he converted into cryptocurrency before transferring the digital coins back to the person.

The police said the money in Chong's accounts came from seven scam victims.

On Feb 21, Chong was charged with one count under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act and one under the Payment Services Act.

He did not enter a plea of guilt and his case will be mentioned again on March 21.
