A New Zealand man who fled to China after millions of dollars were accidentally put in his bank account has been jailed for four years and seven months

“Accidental millionaire” Hui “Leo” Gao was sentenced on Friday for stealing millions of dollars after an error by Westpac bank crediting him with $8.1m instead of $81,000 overdraft he wanted to renovate his BP petrol station in order to sell it.

“Bank error in your favour” isn’t what it used to be.
