The Coming Crisis: A New Zealand woman who went on the run after a bank mistakenly deposited millions of dollars into her partner's account has been convicted of theft, dishonesty and money laundering. "Runaway millionaire" Kara Hurring disappeared when $10m (£4.89m) was paid into partner Hui 'Leo' Gao's account by Westpac Bank in April 2009 after he requested a $100,000 (£48,000) overdraft. The error was discovered within days but by then $6.78m (£3.26m) had already been transferred into other accounts and the couple had fled the country for China. The pair were running a petrol station in the tourist destination of Rotorua at the time and were dubbed the "Accidental Millionaires" in the global media. Hurring was arrested after she returned voluntarily to New Zealand in February last year. Source: The Coming Crisis
