SINGAPORE – He was generous with charities and often dined with the well-connected in Cambodia while pitching himself as a businessman, but casino kingpin She Zhijiang was in fact the brains behind an illegal gambling and online scam empire with links to people and firms throughout South-east Asia.
She, who is also known by other names including She Kailun and Tang Kailun, according to China-based news website Caixin, has also been linked to scam operations in Myanmar and Cambodia, and human trafficking. A report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, released last Tuesday, said those being kept against their will at such centres include Singaporeans.
