A Chinese man Yu Tue, contracted to sell tires on behalf of a local company, failed to account for US$72,000. When questioned further, he confessed to his employer that he had squandered the funds at a casino.
Yu Tue appeared in court yesterday without entering a plea. The complainant is Osaka (Pvt) Ltd.
Yu worked as a sales representative for the company from June of last year until April of this year, when he was in charge of pitching tyres to different clients. He neglected to send the money to the business, though.
