The 40-year-old Su Haijin holds passports from Cambodia, the Republic of Cyprus, and other countries. He gave up his Chinese citizenship years ago, a move known as “hedging”. Later, he became even bolder in leading the “Fujian Gang” and committed Asia’s largest money laundering case, involving an amount of approximately NT$717 billion. He was arrested by Singaporean police in May last year and sentenced to 14 months in prison. Local police investigations revealed that Su Haijin’s group essentially operated a “money laundering one-stop shop”. They first engaged in telecom fraud, online gambling, and other criminal activities on the coasts of China, Cambodia, and other countries. They then used Singapore’s loose financial policies to attract foreign investment and launder their illegal gains. The group then spent their “washed” money extravagantly.

People familiar with the matter pointed out that during the arraignment by the Singaporean judge, Su Haijin readily agreed to hand over approximately NT$40 million of his illegal gains in exchange for being deported. “Since Xihan was not a Singaporean citizen, the judge agreed to the deal, so he stayed on in prison for only five or six months before being released.” It is reported that following regaining his freedom, Su Haijin asked regarding how to stay in Taiwan. As expected, he entered the country with his family over a month ago and currently resides in Taichung.

FTNN investigation found that following Su Haijin arrived in Taiwan, he actively sought meetings with Taiwanese gangsters. Initially, many gangsters believed he was a gangster himself, “looking for collaboration to start a new business.” They soon discovered that the real reason was a “love disaster,” and Su Haijin was seeking protection from the gangsters.“The reason why Xihan chose Taiwan is very simple, because he is from Fujian, and for him, Taiwan is close to both the people and the country.” An insider revealed that late last year, Su Haijin traveled to Dubai and met a beautiful woman at a nightclub. The two spent the night together.“Slender Man received a phone call back in Singapore. The caller, who claimed to be the beautiful woman’s boyfriend, spoke in English with an Arabic accent. He said he had surveillance footage of the two together and demanded an explanation. Ultimately, he demanded ten thousand dollars in compensation. “

Su Haijin thought he had met a scammer, but he chose to pay the money and settle the matter. However, the other party continued to demand more money. “After the young man repeatedly refused to pay, the caller threatened him harshly, ‘Be careful when you come in and out.” Later, Su Haijin was arrested and imprisoned by the Singaporean police. Upon inquiry, he discovered that the beautiful woman was the wife of a wealthy businessman in Dubai. The caller who demanded money was allegedly a hitman hired by the wealthy businessman. Last July, Su Haijin was nearly hit by a car in Singapore. He suspects that the hitman was responsible for the incident; it was like something out of a movie, unbelievable!” said a source.

Regarding Su Haijin’s visit to Taiwan to seek protection from gangs, Li Kunda, chief of the Interpol Section of the Criminal Bureau, said: “We have not received any relevant information so far, but if Su Haijin engages in illegal activities in Taiwan, he will definitely face legal consequences.”
Slender Man: Fujian Gang Leader Seeks Protection in Taiwan After Singapore Money Laundering Case
Su Haijin, a man from Fujian, China, nicknamed “Slender Man” due to his height of less than 160 centimeters, was the head of the “Fujian Gang” and is known for his involvement in Asia’s largest money laundering case in Singapore. While he was arrested and imprisoned in Singapore last year for this crime, Su Haijin now finds himself in Taiwan, seeking protection from the local underworld.

From Money Laundering to Seeking Protection
Su Haijin’s criminal activities extend beyond Singapore’s borders. He holds passports from Cambodia, Cyprus, and other countries and renounced his Chinese citizenship years ago, demonstrating a calculated approach to evading authorities. His boldness in leading the “Fujian Gang” resulted in the largest money laundering case in Asia, involving an estimated NT$717 billion.
In May 2023, Singaporean police arrested Su Haijin and his associates. They received a 14-month prison sentence for their involvement in a well-organized money laundering scheme. The “Fujian Gang” operated a one-stop money laundering operation, starting with telecom fraud and online gambling activities in China and Cambodia. They then exploited Singapore’s loose financial regulations to transfer their illegal gains, “washing” the money through foreign investments.
During his trial, Su Haijin agreed to forfeit approximately NT$400 million in illegal gains in exchange for deportation. After serving a month in prison, he was released and promptly made arrangements to relocate to Taiwan.
Slender Man’s Love Disaster and the Fear of Revenge
While Su Haijin’s reason for choosing Taiwan might seem like a simple preference for familiarity, the reality is far more complex. Sources reveal a tragic incident that led him to seek protection in Taiwan.
Su Haijin, known for his lavish lifestyle, went to Dubai last year where he encountered a beautiful woman at a nightclub and spent the night with her. This encounter, however, triggered a series of events that threatened his safety. The woman’s boyfriend, a wealthy businessman in Dubai, claimed to have video evidence of the affair and demanded compensation from Su Haijin.
Su Haijin attempted to resolve the issue by paying the demanded sum, but the extortion continued. When he refused to pay further demands, he received threats and was eventually arrested by the Singaporean police. Later, he learned that the woman’s boyfriend had hired a hitman to intimidate and threaten him.
The situation escalated further when Su Haijin narrowly escaped being hit by a car in a seemingly intentional act. This incident cemented his fears and prompted his decision to seek refuge in Taiwan.
After Su Haijin, who was in trouble, came to Taiwan, for his own safety, he asked people who knew gangsters to protect him.

Seeking Protection From Gangsters in Taiwan
Once in Taiwan, Su Haijin actively sought out contacts within the Taiwanese underworld. He presented himself as a businessman interested in collaborations, but his true intention was to secure personal protection.
The reason for his decision to approach Taiwan’s gangster community stems from his Fujianese background and a sense of familiarity with the region. However, Su Haijin is a criminal with a history of orchestrating large-scale illegal activities, and his presence in Taiwan raises concerns regarding potential future involvement in criminal enterprises.
The Criminal Bureau’s Interpol Section has stated that while there has been no relevant information on Su Haijin’s activities in Taiwan, any illegal actions will be addressed according to the law.
