By December, the bank informed Mr Yu it was unable to retrieve the money as it couldn't reach the recipient. He further cast doubt on the legitimacy of the transfer, alleging it could be related to money laundering or fraud. He also pointed to conversations between Mr Yu and his friend mentioning shipping costs back to China, suggesting the $5,000 could be legitimate payment for logistics services.
However, a check on Acra records by Shin Min Daily News revealed Mr Guo is the sole director and shareholder of the logistics company. Commenting on the case, Senior Criminal Lawyer Mr Wang Liqing said the logistics company had no right to retain the money.
