Customer hunts for stolen millions

A Shandong businessman said a rural credit co-operative stole tens of millions of yuan from his savings, and he does not know when he will get it back.

Sun Jiandong, from Tai'an, said he deposited 23.5 million yuan ($3.3 million) in a Fenghua rural credit co-operative account after being lured by an illegal high interest rate by then-director Hu Yongcheng.

He was then shocked to discover last year that the money had been withdrawn without his permission.
