Retrieving Some
The story somehow reached the media airwaves. So there were bound to be multiple variations of this crime that this college student had knowingly or unknowingly committed. All that they could do now was to accept the fact that this was a “big, fat banking error.” In the end, they were able to save a few million that the criminal had stolen.
Dishonesty Dollars
As she was a college student, Christine Lee was clearly not a fool. She was actually smart enough not to spend 4.6 million on just shoes and bags. She made a very clever move in trying to secure all the money she had received in her account. What she actually did was, transfer some of the millions she received into different private accounts.
Solid Evidence
Christine did all she could to try and keep at least some of the portions that ended up flooding her bank account. After a thorough investigation, the bank found $1.3 million of it in several of these private accounts, but not all of the amount.

She appeared to be quite carefree, like all of this was not her fault.
The Trial

It is amazing to see her dressed this way even after all the money she used up had been proven not to be hers. One thing you can say is that Christine is ballsy. Even after all of this happened, the trial did not end as anyone expected…

Christine’s lawyer, Hugo Aston had already been in talks with the press even before the trial took place confirming that event the parents of his client were in support of their daughter. He was also sure that Christine would be excused from all of this crime. He went on saying that, “We feel confident our client will be acquitted…”
