Where will missing New Zealand, kiwi couple with 6 Million New Zealand $ be found?
The couple's last known whereabouts is Hong Kong, but they haven't been found, and the manhunt goes on. (http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/2607012/Wreckage-in-millionaire-runaways-wake)
Background:
A couple was given 6 Million New Zealand dollars in a banking mistake. The couple absconded , even though they are (were) on a far off isolated island. It really is not known yet whether they actually left New Zealand, as far as I know, but the following article gives more info. Now the question is: where and/or if, will they be caught (or turn themselves in), with or without their money. Nothing to do with any case against them.
Police in New Zealand say a couple has disappeared after their bank mistakenly deposited more than $6 million into their account. Detective David Harvey says police have contacted Interpol for assistance in locating the couple, who are believed to have left the country.
Police and bank officials say the couple applied for a $6,000 bank overdraft. But Westpac bank accidentally deposited 1,000 times that amount into their business account.
Harvey said Westpac Bank recovered some of the funds, but did not say how much the couple withdrew before disappearing.
The bank said it has started an internal investigation to prevent similar mistakes in the future. DUH

I would say, for the purposes of this question, as it is written, it would imply last option, elsewhere, etc. as North, South and central America are very explicit. but hd staff, as usual would settle this,

What if these people go to the NZ embassy in china and then get flown back to NZ and arrested by NZ police - in that scenario I think they are 'found' in China, but only 'caught' in NZ?
Clarification please?
all bets off?
