Nina Wang’s $12 Billion Fortune Goes to Charity as Geomancer Denied Appeal

[Mat]

Shameless bast**d maybe but I find it hard to believe somebody who already has billions of dollars would risk his money, reputation, and family life for more money. Again, it's a personal opinion and only based on what I read/heard.

When is enough, enough?

No amount of money can compensate a man's lost reputation and family.

He's the stooge for other forces that's all I'm going to say.
Read into that what you will

I see it this way. Maybe Tony thinks that with the success he has had with his con-job on Nina, he can also try to get the "bigger slice" by going to court. In practice, he may want to use that as a tactic to bargain with the Wangs to get as much as possible. He may not have counted on the Wangs retaliating all the way with a full trial. By that point, with exposure to the public and his back against the wall, Tony may have felt no choice but to pursue the case all the way, as the IRD is on him at that point anyway.

Conversely, having found so much "easy" money may have clouded Tony's judgment. Once you have tasted the "high life", you are addicted to it and want more and more of it. That is why uncontrollable greed got the better of Tony.

There of course more outlandish theories which I won't go into, but it's sufficient to say only Tony knows the real reasons. And he will have plenty of time rummaging on whether he made the right move behind bars (if the IRD or the prosecution have their way).

He has......

If he was that worried about his family he would not have acted this way in the 1st place so save me those tears.

The last I heard he was out on $20 million bail, and due in court Nov.25th.

Don't know if this time it is for forgery or for tax evasion.

Nice to hear from you Tony. Yes, he had such a sterling reputation to begin with. Who would want to risk that?

I find it amusing when people use this defense for criminals. Every criminal is risking their wealth and reputation, and yet crime continues to happen.

Not only is he a greed person of doubtable parentage, he's also stupid. If he had kept his mouth shut, he would have walked away with the billions he had already milked from Nina Wang. But, oh no. He wanted it all and because of that out came all about the scheming, the tax evasion, the fraud.

Next the tax evasion case...

Precisely, he had all those billions and Nina being dead, he could have just walked away and live out the rest of his life in luxury... NO one would have been the wiser.
I wonder what made him become so stupid!
