A disgraced British "business expert" was dragged back to the windowless embrace of Changi after discovering that Singaporean authorities can actually scroll through a phone.

The convict, whose hobby involved falsifying documents for billions, was shocked his digital scrapbook of "Vanuatu Hideouts" wasn't subtle.

Despite having no roots here, the Briton apparently thought bail was a "get out of jail free" card for a tropical holiday.

"Liddat also can? He think search 'extradition' is very secret ah?" remarked one local observer.

"Siao eh, stay Singapore so long still so blur, go inside eat curry rice better lah!"

He will now enjoy a 6.5-year suite with zero infinity pools.
