A GROUP of 15 investors chased a businessman across Singapore in a bid to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars they had allegedly entrusted to him to invest in seaweed farms.

Simon Ng, 54, had been due to meet the group at a coffee shop in Geylang Lorong 41 at noon yesterday, but when he sent another person to pass on his lawyer’s details to them, they went to his Toa Payoh flat - before showing up at his lawyer’s Changi office.
