Bank error gives millions to couple, who vanish with the $.

From News.com.au:

A New Zealand couple who fled overseas after receiving $10 million in a bank error told a friend they were going on a holiday before vanishing.

New Zealand police and Interpol are investigating the case. It is believed $4 million has been recovered, with $6 million still missing.

The Rotorua couple applied for a $100,000 loan but a Westpac employee deposited $10 million into their account instead.

Detective Senior Sergeant David Harvey of Rotorua CIB said police and Westpac were investigating the "inappropriate operation" of a business acount where money had been withdrawn and that the couple had fled overseas, reported The Dominion Post.

The money is thought to have been transfered to an account for a BP service station partially owned by Korean Leo Gao, who fled overseas with his New Zealand girlfriend Kara Young after receiving the milions by mistake.
