Bank staffer clears out account
( 2003-10-29 17:11) (China Daily)
A bank employee who stole more than 900,000 yuan (US$108,740) from a
customer's savings account is now in police custody, Beijing Youth Daily
reports.
Qiao Libo took advantage of his position and copied a deposit book belonging
to Chen, a customer. He then succeeded in guessing the man's PIN by entering
Chen's birthdate at an ATM.
After initially withdrawing 350,000 yuan (US$42,290), Qiao put 10,000 yuan
(US$1,200) back into Chen's account to try to cover up his crime.
But the following month, he withdrew all 900,000 yuan left in the account,
using it to buy a car, a house, a notebook computer and a digital camera.
Chen discovered the missing funds when he went to the bank to withdraw some
money.
