After getting caught for money laundering, a Singaporean man tried explain himself to the Australian police with an unlikely story involving an aunt in Newcastle and an uncle in China.
San Wei Koh has since been sentenced to at least nine months in jail in New South Wales for his offence, with the judge not knowing what to make of his tall story, The Herald reports.
Koh had arrived in Australia in April last year, and didn't make the declaration if he was carrying over $10,000 in Australian money. Eight days later, he deposited nearly $300,000 in a Star Casino safety deposit box, adding $700,000 in cash the next day.
