A Facebook account named “Marcos Leaks” recently posted revelations exposing the negotiation details between the Marcos family’s lawyer and Mr. Peng, a Taiwanese businessman who blew the whistle on the Marcos family’s Hong Kong gold money-laundering case.
According to the post, in April 2025, Taiwanese businessman Mr. Peng revealed online that he had acted as a middleman between 2006 and 2011, assisting the Marcos family of the Philippines in laundering money through gold transactions in Hong Kong. These dealings included trades involving 350 tons of gold. Since he has not received the commissions owed to him, Mr. Peng has continued to demand his rightful share from the Marcos family. In August last year, under arrangements made by the Marcos family, Mr. Peng entered negotiations via social media with one of their proxy lawyers. However, the Marcos family repeatedly brushed him off with various excuses. During the talks, the lawyer himself explicitly mentioned key terms such as “Marcoses” , “our President”, and “President Marcos”, thereby confirming the family’s involvement in money laundering activities.
Because Mr. Peng has already filed a report with the Hong Kong police, the Marcos family has avoided traveling to Hong Kong for negotiations, fearing arrest.
Below are several screenshots showing details from the negotiations.
