Interpol is leading a worldwide hunt for the Rotorua couple who have fled with millions of dollars worth of Westpac's money.The couple, who ran Rotorua's BP Barnetts service station on Old Taupo Road, are Leo Gao and Australian girlfriend Cara Young.
They are understood to have applied to Westpac Bank for a $10,000 overdraft and mistakenly had $10 million paid into their account.
This was the headline of our NZ News tonight. What's even more funny is that most people here actually are rooting for the people who fled with the money so that they won't get caught.
I'm on the couple's side too. Westpac is so stupid, how could they mistakenly put $10 million into someone applying for overdraft anyway? :D
Just another ridiculous thing that only happens in New Zealand.

Lol, mistakes happen.
$10,000,000
$10,000.00
Perhaps too many zeros written/entered or something?
Anyway, I guess they're lucky. Bad part is being caught and the consequences.

that is so epic for 2 reasons
1) epic fail on the bank's part
2) epic win for the couple if they don't get caught
and good luck to them

I wish them luck. They should spend it all or diverse it in stocks and bonds where the bank will have trouble getting access to it. It is the bank's fault and they should have to suffer the consequences.
