$4.6M from Kim Wong to stay with AMLC

SOME of the money stolen from the Bangladesh Bank had been returned but Bangladesh Ambassador to Manila John Gomes is not happy that his country still cannot get hold of the cash surrendered by junket operator Kam Sin Wong, alias Kim Wong, to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).

Gomes, who was present during the resumption on Tuesday of the Senate blue ribbon committee hearing on the $81 million money-laundering scandal, was disappointed after learning that he still could not send the money back to Bangladesh.
