Ong Kean Swan

Peter Ong Kean Swan (born 7 November 1982) is a Malaysian-Chinese businessman. His companies were essentially pyramid schemes, and have been banned in China, Malaysia and Taiwan due to alleged fraud. In a defamation lawsuit he was charged with breaking his distribution contract and disclosing proprietary information. While the newspaper and other defendants were found to be not guilty of defamation, judgment was rendered against Ong and the other two distributors. Ong answered the complaint, but chose not to appear in court. The Ong brothers devised a multi-level marketing business plan for Island Red Café franchises through their company MLB International. and in 2011, Ong Tong Swan (Philip Ong), Peter Ong's brother, as a director of Island Red Café, pleaded guilty to fraud.

His company website indicates that Peter Ong had also been involved with a multi-level insurance programme, before creating, in 2011, together with his brother Philip, the Surewin4u Group (圆梦赢家) to promote their gambling winning system. On 25 September 2013, Dream Success International and website www.Surewin4u.com were listed by the Central Bank of Malaysia (Bank Negara Malaysia) as engaging in unlicensed activities. After the Taiwanese government closed down the Taiwan branch of Dream Success International in September 2014 leaving thousands of "investors" without recourse, Ong Kean Swan said there was nothing he could do ("圆梦无力回天").

Because he could not be found, his surrogates in Singapore were sued by a defrauded investor in 2017. The defendants settled out of court. Estimates of Singapore investors' losses are as high as 50 million Singapore dollars (US $36.7 million). He was born in 1982,

In 2013, Ong was arrested for impersonating Perak royalty and using the title Tengku to which he was not entitled.

At his thirty-first birthday celebration in November 2013, he was noted for his philanthropy.
