In these run road cases....probably runner is already at end of the rope....as seen this chap already bankrupt so only a matter of time he lose licence to practice.
Likely also piled up debts....and all waiting to explode....even without the 32k also got to run. No access to bigger amount of funds....beggers can't be choosers.

Actually the question is how you run road with $5-10 million. Bank let you take out so many meh? Even if you transfer to another bank, there is a electronic trail where the money go what. Unless is Swiss or Cayman Isles bank la.

 

[Deleted member 80916]

Thanks, all,..but is it true that in the order of enforcement priority,..most Law Enforcement Agencies spend the limited resources in catching the higher-profile,..more serious crimes-on-the-desk ?

IN other words,....these rouge Law Breakers are the last to be caught - if ever,...and chances are,..money is used,..to cover even more up,...

Money talks,....

I think this David got this covered. He bought lots of diamonds in Singapore and then smuggled them into Vietnam.

Readers can also click on the "Looking beyond the persecution of Tey Tsun Hang" thread above and see for themselves that it is the same PAP IB clowns that are "die die must defend" our clownish and incompetent courts & prosecutors - watchman8; @madillo; ray_of_hope; LockeLiberal; ChewCheng – MIA since 10th May; GoldenDragon; IamTiong ......

Why is Tan Cheng Yew not on Ray_of_Hope’s list? $4.8 million is a lot more than $32,000 right? Got anything to do with Cheng Yew’s brother, Tan Cheng Han, former dean of law faculty and chairman of the Media Literacy Council i.e. Internet Censorship Board?

got one case, but no lawyer involved. just want to mentioned because it was quite a surprise case.

this case is regarding "the hour glass' where one employee stole many branded watches worth millions and run road to thailand. but was surrender after a short period. heard he surrendered because many contract killers are after him, cos they know he got many watches.

 

[apogee]

I was told the that ang moh couple bought another house shortly thereafter for about the same price. To be able to have $20million, one must be able to make much more, maybe double the amount. If any one can make $40 million, he cannot be stupid and easily conned. So why are they so trusting and deliver to Rasif $10 million when they just got to know each other? Are there more to it? Is there an arrangement to clean money? These questions do not seemed to be have been asked.

This one the guy was a gong cheebye.
Only got watches but no contacts to fence them.
And did not plan his run road well.
Sold a few pieces at dirt cheap price (wasted).
The only people after him were soccer bookies.
Btw it was cortina not HG

Super intelligent chap who came out with a perfect plan to fool many. Some assets were returned to the ang mo chap who has a Jepun wife. Rasif did not get away with everything he misappropriated. Some money was left in bro-in-law's bank account and surrendered to CAD. Dimaonds bought from Fred, a HongKie who is now PR. Dubious character.

Not sure if he's smart or dumb or just desperate!! He didn't take much....according to reports...couple of millions only. Unless he got assets in Vietnam or wherever he is, that just afford him a modest lifestyle if he going to retire there.

Couple of millions as retirement fund or capital to start again better than staying put here and losing everything here plus long jail term.

“Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody” – Agatha Christie.

Doesn’t matter whether it’s a man or a woman; chink, ah neh or ang mor; lawyer, accountant, doctor, CPIB assistant director or janitor; priest or lay person; famiLEE background is blue blood AhLeeBaba or true blue Chinese educated; blah, blah, blah.

Only Sinkies will forget to verify before trusting and always to keep monitoring.

Still believe that your sovereign funds are in good hands? On what basis do you hold that belief?
