fuck the bank if they do get caught i hope they have nothing left.

 

clearly they are dual citizens somewhere and aint going back to lord of the rings land.

 

swiss banks changed after pressure, lichtenstein banks are the new swiss banks.

but yeah cayman accounts, its some tax haven thing.

 

 

and yeah once they transfered that to a couple of different banks, it would be a nightmare to get back. or impossible at all.

Chinese casino drawn into bank bungle millionaires' tangled web

May 27, 2009 - 10:53AM

Have money, will spend.

 

That appears to be the motto of New Zealand's now infamous cashed-up couple who have fled to China after pocketing millions of dollars accidentally handed to them by a bank.

 

Westpac has begun court action against the owner of an international casino chain with a gambling palace in Macau.

 

The implication is that Leo Gao, 29, and girlfriend Kara Yang, 30, skipped across to the gambling mecca to fritter away a sizeable chunk of the $NZ3.8 million ($3 million) they escaped New Zealand with after the embarrassing banking bungle.

 

Westpac will not elaborate on the court proceedings but has confirmed the casino firm, Wynn Resorts, was named along with Gao, and his mother and business partner in a court case to try to reclaim its lost millions.

 

The bank has also seized four properties to try to claw back the losses that stem from a decimal point-sized error that led to Gao being given a bank loan of $NZ10 million instead of $NZ100,000.

 

Gao, a cash-strapped Chinese national, did what most would never dare and called up the funds, put his struggling service station into receivership and got on a plane to greener pastures.

 

Accompanying him was his on-again, off-again girlfriend Yang, a New Zealander, and her seven-year-old daughter Leena.

 

Her younger sister Aroha Hurring followed after getting a phone call from Macau.

 

Gao's mother and business partner are also unaccounted for, while other relatives of the pair told New Zealand media they had opted not to go because they "knew it was bad".

 

Their disappearance has sparked an international police search, inadvertently helped by Hurring who updated their whereabouts on Facebook and bragged of their fun drinking tasty beer in the Asian heat.

 

Hurring returned home on Monday and was questioned by police who revealed another twist in the tale.

 

While Hurring had been with her sister, she did not know Gao's whereabouts.

 

Police have repeated calls for the pair to "reflect on their options" and return home before all the money is spent.

 

Yang's mother Suzanne Hurring has also made public pleas for her daughter to return, and says the behaviour was completely out of character.

 

"She has never pinched a thing in her life," she told TV3.

 

Meanwhile, their disappearance has left one of Gao's employees, Shybu Antony, jobless and about $2500 out of pocket.

 

Antony, a father of three, told the Daily Post newspaper he was heartbroken to lose his job and shocked at his bosses' actions.

 

"I'm so shocked. They should come back and give the money back ... Westpac made a big blunder but Leo has done a big, big blunder."

 

His message for Gao, if he saw him again, would be: "'Why are you doing this? You spoil your life, you spoil my life.'"
