    INFORMATION gathered during an investigation into ISR Capital's recent stock crash led prosecutors of John Soh Chee Wen to add allegations of witness tampering, Deputy Public Prosecutor Teo Guan Siew told the court on Tuesday during Soh's bail hearing.

    Soh, who was arrested on the morning of Nov 24 on charges of manipulating the stocks of Asiasons Capital, Blumont Group and LionGold Corp in the run-up to the 2013 penny stock crash, remains in custody. The prosecution is asking the court not to grant any bail for Soh.
