After Amos Yee, another Singaporean — Lim Seok Pheng — was on Friday (Feb 6), added to the US Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) list of «worst of the worst» criminal aliens. Lim, 47, was arrested in May 2018 on suspicion of money laundering. She was reportedly a New York-based member of a money laundering ring, who became a cooperating witness for the US government. Lim was alleged to have collected vast sums of cash — of between US$150,000 and US$1 million (S$1.28 million) — from contacts in the drug cartels in New York and Chicago using burner phones. She would then work with US-based Chinese merchants to convert the money to yuan in banks in China. Following her arrest at New York's John F.
