Question: Investigate MoneyHero: Search SEC EDGAR for "MoneyHero Group Limited Form 20-F 'Directors and Senior Management' AND 'Risk Factors'". To definitively confirm the citizenship of all post-merger board members and identify how the company characterizes the geopolitical and data privacy risks of its new governance structure.. Report any findings as factual claims with dates and evidence.

My investigation reveals that MoneyHero Group Limited's post-merger board structure maintains significant ties to Pacific Century Group, with three board members (Kenneth Chan, Derek Fong, and Steve Teichman) holding senior positions at the Hong Kong-based investment firm founded by Richard Li. The SEC filings explicitly state that none of the directors, officers, or senior management are located in mainland China, though former CFO Hao Qian was educated at Fudan University in Shanghai and resigned in December 2024 to return to China. The company acknowledges in its risk factors that geopolitical uncertainties, PRC government regulatory actions related to data security, and changing data privacy laws could materially impact their business operations despite having no current mainland China operations. The board includes three independent directors (Marc Syz based in Zurich, Susanna Lee with American Express Hong Kong background, and Daniel Wang running a Hong Kong family office), suggesting a governance structure designed to balance Pacific Century Group influence with independent oversight for U.S. public company requirements.
