Singapore-registered company allegedly behind Japan's largest scam, swindling 26,000 people of $1.2b

asiaone.com/singapore/singapore-registered-company-allegedly-behind-japans-largest-scam-swindling-26000-people

Quick Glance: Singapore Company Linked to Japan's Biggest Scam

A Singapore-registered company is suspected of swindling 26,000 people out of $1.2 billion in Japan.

Sky Premium International is accused of orchestrating Japan's largest scam by selling a financial product called Lion Premium without authorization.

Four executives, including the CEO and chief sales officer, were arrested after investors lodged complaints about not receiving their investments back.

Police are investigating whether the scam funds were funneled into a bank account in Hong Kong under the company's name and if the money was actually used for forex trading.

Taro Akebono: Hawaiian-born Japanese sumo legend dies: Widely considered a trailblazer for foreign sumo wrestlers, he died of heart failure.

bbc.com/news/world-asia-68787193

Quick Glance: Akebono Taro: Sumo Icon Passes Away from Heart Failure

Japan mourns Akebono Taro, the first non-Japanese Sumo Grand Champion, who passed away at the age of 54 from heart failure. His story was immortalized in songs.

Born as Chad Rowan in Hawaii, Akebono rose to become one of the most successful sumo wrestlers in the 90s and was appointed as the 64th Yokozuna in 1993. After his active career, he pursued K-1 and wrestling.

The US Ambassador to Japan and the late musician Israel Kamakawiwoʻole honored Akebono as a giant in sumo and a bridge between the US and Japan. His legacy as a sumo icon lives on.

Israel Kamakawiwoʻole had sung about Akebono and other Hawaiian sumo wrestlers in his song 'Tengoku Kara Kaminari,' celebrating them as champions and heroes for all ages. Akebono leaves behind his wife, daughter, and two sons.
