Attorney Jeffrey Ong Su Aun may presently sit on the board of several companies and has practiced law for years in several countries.

But as of May 23, he has gone missing, along with a large amount of money associated to one of his firms and cases. Did he take it? Is he going down the same route as DJ Jade Rasif’s father, David Rasif had gone?

Who is Jeffrey Ong Su Aun?

According to a report by TODAY, Jeffrey Ong Su Aun, 42 years old, is a senior lawyer from the JLC Advisors Law Firm, and as of publishing, he is considered missing.

He also goes by the name Wang Ci’ An, and he is the central figure in the investigation regarding a $33.2 million payment that has gone missing from the escrow account of Allied Technologies. The money had gone missing from the engineering company last Thursday, May 23.
