Bank-mistake millionaires have split up

Wellington (May 26, 2009) : A runaway New Zealand couple who fled the country with millions of dollars thanks to a bank's mistake appear to have split up, police said on Tuesday.

A woman who flew home on Monday after being with the pair told police that Kara Mary Jo Hurring, 30, was still in Hongkong where they went from New Zealand, but she did not know where her boyfriend, Leo Gao, 29, had gone.

Although police did not name the woman, but she was widely reported to be the female fugitive's sister, Aroha Hurring, 22, who was interviewed for hours by police but not charged.

Detective David Harvey said police were still working on a formal request to the Chinese government to arrest Gao, who left the country with 3.8 million New Zealand dollars (2.3 million US dollars) belonging to the Westpac Bank.

He repeated a call to the couple to return home and face the music.

The bank mistakenly gave Gao, part owner of a struggling auto service station in Rotorua, access to 10 million New Zealand dollars when it was formalising a temporary overdraft of 100,000 dollars.

He tried to withdraw 6.7 million dollars but the bank blocked access to 2.9 million, leaving him with 3.8 million.

The pair's escapade has captured headlines around the world with people divided between those who say it was the bank's fault and they should keep the money and others who say they will never get away with it

ok, aku baru je baca cerita ini tadi walaupon semlm lg dah publish. aku mmg suka baca paper lama, bt that's not my point, ok?

apa agknye yg korg akan buat klu tetiba di satu hari yg permai bila korg check bank account korg tetiba bakinya ada 10juta (walaupon sebelum ni nk cecah 2 ratus pon payah). apekah perasaannya ketika itu? dan ape agknye tindakan korg?

gile hebat ok derang berdua yg cargas melarikan diri ke hong kong. maybe derang rasa org2 new zealand tu xkan jumpa cr derang kat sana. mungkin juga derang terpanik kut, tp demi nafsu yg membuak2 melihat angka yg tertera dlm bank statement tu langsung derang gelap mata dan terlupa nk pk secara logik

maybe derang tak terpk yg org2 bank tu boleh block account2 derang yg lain. mungkin derang juga xterpk yg kerajaan new zealand tu boleh juga bekerjasama dgn kerajaan china utk cuba trace whereabout derang. 10 juta NZ bukan amount yg sikit okeh. harus derang berhempas pulas cari derang yg dah melarikan diri ni

ada yg mungkin menuduh derang ni xjujur dan cuba 'mencuri' sesuatu yg bukan milik derang. well, bt if u look at it frm another point of view, it was not their fault at the very first place pon. sape suh bank officer tu cuai masa key in figure tu kan. mungkin masa tu dia tgh main mafia wars kut. dah biasa sgt tgk duit juta2, langsung terlajak tekan 0. ha, hamek kau! harus dia kena buang keje serta merta tanpa mendapat sebarang pampasan atau pencen. dr bank officer terus la kau merempat kan. rasain lu. makan la duit mafia kau smp kenyang. haha

tp klu aku pon di tempat mereka, tlg la jgn harapkan aku utk pulangkan balik baki duit tu. aku bukan sejujur itu ok. tp jenuh juga la nk abiskan 10 juta tu dlm masa yg singkat kan (sebelum duit tu disekat semula oleh bank). memula skali harus aku langsaikan terus baki ptptn aku (dengan perasaan riak aku akan mencampakkan bungkusan duit2 tu depan pegawai ptptn sambil berkata "kau org igt besar sgt la 20 ribu yg aku hutang tu kan. hamek kau duit ni pegi berambus kau di sana"!!)

lepas tu aku terus beli fake ID dan pasport dan terus melarikan diri ke sebuah lokasi rahsia (aku xnk bgtau kat sini, nnt derang tau nk cari aku kat mana). aku akan beli properties, kereta dan klu ada baki aku akan beli saham2 utk generate income aku. lepas tu baru aku akan sedekah pada fakir miskin (haha.. dah hujung2 br igt nk sedekah kan. better late than never kaedahnye)

tapi asal aku bukak public bank online asik2 ada byk tu je. xbertambah pon angkanya. cheh. bila public bank nk tersilap debit akaun aku nih?
