Police are hunting an Asian couple thought to have fled the country with millions of dollars, after a banking error.

The couple, who ran a Rotorua service station, are understood to have applied to Westpac Bank for a $10,000 overdraft and mistakenly had $10 million paid into their account.

A Westpac spokesman today refused to confirm the amount mistakenly given to the couple, though said the bank was "pursing vigorous criminal and civil action to recover the sum of money stolen".

He said human error was responsible for the couple's substantial windfall, not a systems error, and that the bank was reviewing its procedures.

woops........ i heard a figure around 6 mil.

yep, that's enough free cash to disappear for a while
Shit, I'd disappear for a million.
Good luck trying to find two Chinese people with the funds to disappear in a population of 1.2 billion Chinese, I would bet they will go to their homeland assume new identities and then move to America. The money will go from a Swiss account to The Caymans, color that money gone.
