Philippine officials heard conflicting testimony on Tuesday regarding the origins and current whereabouts of the $81m stolen from Bangladeshi central bank accounts and funneled through local casino operators.

On Tuesday, the Philippine Senate conducted its latest hearing into the missing millions, which were stolen from Federal Reserve Bank of New York accounts last month by as yet unidentified hackers.

The scandal has roped in local casino and junket operators, as well as the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) and foreign remittance firm Philrem Services Inc.

Tuesday’s star witness was Kam Sin ‘Kim’ Wong (pictured), a Chinese junket operator residing in the Philippines. Wong claimed two Chinese junket agents – Gao Shu Hua from Beijing and Ding Zhi Ze from Macau – were responsible for bringing the money into the Philippines via accounts they arranged with RCBC manager Maia Santos-Deguito.
