2. On 15 February 1985 a gold dealer received an order over the telephone from the defendant for 70 Krugerrands and 15 taels of gold to be delivered to her address. She was clearly trusted by him because the gold was delivered and she issued a cheque for $215,000 dated the same day. It appears that a few hours later on that day she decided not to make payment. The next day she fled to Taiwan. When the cheque was presented, it was referred to the drawer and the matter was reported to the police.
