Multi-lingual seasoned financial industry professional and ACLP-certified trainer with over 25 years of experience in policy implementation with focus on client due diligence and operational risk management.  She is a subject matter expert on Correspondent Banking, Securities Services and most recently Fintech in the areas of Financial Crime and Regulatory Compliance and Fraud Management.
 
Having worked in consultancy, global banking and regulatory entities which include Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, KLOFFE and KPMG, she has considerable experience on client lifecycle management, and design and implementation of control frameworks in Asia and Middle East.
 
She is passionate about the culture of compliance, fintech and financial inclusion.

Her fans raised money to "rescue" her before the news of her arrest broke.

Zhang Mucheng, known as "Sister Orange," was a beloved Chinese influencer with millions of followers. When she went missing in Cambodia last month, her fans immediately mobilised. They crowdfunded. They searched. They worried.

The truth? She was arrested for suspected involvement in online fraud and human trafficking. She was allegedly running scams 🫣 

It raises a question I keep coming back to:

𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘧 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘮 𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭?

The answer: We often can't. Not without deep investigation.

Online personas are curated. They're designed to build trust, connection, even love. And that's precisely what makes influencer-linked fraud so dangerous. The same mechanisms that create genuine communities can be weaponised to exploit them.

Consider:
🔸 Her earnings allegedly went to a bank account under her name
🔸 She's accused of facilitating cross-border human trafficking
🔸 Yet ... her followers saw only the persona she chose to show them

This isn't just about one influencer. The rise of social media has created new vectors for financial crime that traditional detection methods weren't built to catch.

For those of us in compliance and financial crime prevention, this is a reminder: the face of fraud is evolving. It's polished. It's likeable. It has millions of followers.

And it takes serious, methodical investigation to see past the carefully constructed image to the reality beneath.

What safeguards do you think we need in this new landscape?
