A 53-year-old businessman, the second “Tan Sri” linked to the RM3.5 billion MBI Ponzi scheme, was arrested in Penang at 2am as part of “Op Northern Star.” Detained in Kuala Lumpur’s Jinjang lock-up, he allegedly acted as a proxy for the scheme’s mastermind, Tedy Teow Wooi Huat, laundering illicit proceeds. The MBI Group, founded by Teow in 2012, ran a pyramid scheme disguised as a digital coin platform, defrauding over 10 million investors across Asia. Authorities have seized assets worth RM3.51 billion, including a hotel, durian farms, luxury vehicles, and bank accounts. Teow was extradited to China in 2024, facing charges for losses exceeding RM65 billion.
