Million-dollar heist

[no_faith]

Two S’poreans charged for million-dollar heist
It took just four hours for a Singaporean to allegedly stage a daring million-dollar heist in what is called the first of its kind in Fiji.

According to a Straits Times report, 38-year-old Abdul Quadir Katu Miah robbed the Reserve Bank of Fiji on August 19 — without even leaving Singapore.

He and an unknown number of accomplices climbed aboard a ship at anchor at Jurong Port and allegedly looted 1 million Fiji dollars (S$709,000) from a container filled with freshly-printed banknotes.

Neither! I am saying the loot..."fresh out from the oven" with running serial numbers! Not every money changer takes Fijian pounds! Obviously, he can't deposit it in any banks!

U got reason and good views.

>Abdul Quadir Katu Miah > This one, is plain to see, a BANGLADESHI shipyard worker, local do not have family names like MIAH.

This is an inside job, no one can have access to a container on a ship, that is dock in a yard somewhere or even in SINgapore waters.

Man jailed for helping to launder $700,000 loot

Three men broke into a container on a ship at Jurong Port and stole 1 million Fiji dollars (S$709,000).

The stolen money, all in $20 denomination, was part of a shipment of 202 million Fiji dollars newly printed notes en route to Fiji.

The loot was handed to a fourth man who approached Sanjay Krishnan to help convert 540,000 Fiji dollars into Singapore dollars.

On Wednesday, the 30-year-old video editor was jailed a year. He had pleaded guilty in March to possessing, transferring and converting stolen property.

Court documents indicate that the three workers stole the cash on Aug 19, 2010 from a ship en route from London to Suva, the capital of Fiji.

Read the full story in Wednesday's edition of The Straits Times.

The world is in trouble. Every country is printing money like nobody's business. Even though I do not study economics, I know that's unhealthy.
