  "account": "The former wife of self-styled wealth guru Jason Fong was stopped and searched at the Woodlands Checkpoint after returning from Malaysia on September 9, amid a police investigation into an alleged Ponzi scheme. Fong, who declared bankruptcy in January, had been in Malaysia since June 21 and has not left since. His investors, who have demanded answers from Fong's ex-wife Diana Goh Geok Lee, have shared screenshots of her account of the checkpoint experience. Goh said six police officers searched her car and body without informing her. Since Fong went silent after removing investors from his WhatsApp group in 2025, disgruntled investors have been contacting her, causing disturbances at her shop. Goh took over a design business from her ex-husband in June 2026. Police have interviewed multiple investors about Fong's alleged scheme, with investors promising annual returns of up to 15 percent on investments in a Telok Blangah Heights property. Another self-styled wealth guru, Takeshi Lim Jian Bin, is also under police investigation for allegedly promising 5 to 10 percent annual returns on investments in vending machine and industrial property deals. Over 40 investors poured around $4 million into his schemes.",
