Property Management

A Hong Kong property manager has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for stealing HK$61.1 million (US$7.8 million) from a housing estate over a decade by adding a zero to reimbursement cheques. Wong Wai-lung, 53, admitted to the elaborate fraud and gambled away all the money. The High Court described it as the largest single theft from a Hong Kong residential complex's owners’ corporation to date.
