JLC Advisors LLP managing partner Jeffrey Ong Su Aun - who disappeared before news broke that S$33 million held in escrow by his firm had gone missing - had been linked professionally to several other companies, a handful of which have hit troubled patches in the past.

The 42-year-old lawyer had been acting chairman and independent director at Annica Holdings, where he held a board seat for over 10 years. It's the longest directorship he has held among firms where he once had a board seat.
