Core Figures of the Prince Group (Figure 1) Part 1 Chen Zhi（Vincent)，Chairman and Controlling Director of Prince Group Chen Zhi (Figure 2), born on December 16, 1987, in Xiaoxing Village, Xiao’ao Town, Lianjiang County, Fujian Province, China, dropped out of school in the eighth grade and was reportedly known to frequent internet cafés in his hometown. Between 2010 and 2011, prior to the dismantling of the hacker group known as the “Knights,” Chen allegedly used a false identity to illegally depart Shanghai and relocate to Cambodia. In 2015, Chen founded Prince Group. He subsequently acquired multiple nationalities, including those of China, Cambodia, Cyprus, and Vanuatu, and has reportedly held passports and permanent residency status in jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom. Entities Associated With Sanctions Exposure Linked to Chen Zhi: 1 The Prince Group 2 Grand Legend International Asset Management Group 3 Jinbei (Cambodia) Investment Co., Ltd., a joint venture reportedly established with 4 Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet 4 Huione Group 5 Golden Fortune Resorts World Ltd. Since 2017, Chen has used Singapore as a strategic hub to build an Asia-Pacific asset management network. With the assistance of a local associate, David Wong, Chen established a family office, DW Capital Holdings Pte. Ltd., in 2018. In 2021, David Wong, who was then serving as a director of the family office, allegedly transferred approximately SGD 5.84 million from Chen’s account at OCBC Bank without authorization. The incident later became a key investigative lead in coordinated sanctions-related probes conducted by authorities in the United States, United Kingdom, and Singapore. On January 8, 2016, Chen Zhi was extradited to mainland China.
