Guilty of forging will, dead Hong Kong billionaire's lover gets 12 years

Here's a story about a guy who apparently got what he deserved, which was 12 years in prison for forging a will in the hopes that he would receive an estate worth $11 billion. Peter Chan was a feng shui master hired by Nina Wang in 1992 to help find her missing husband. He was not content with the $407 million dollars Mrs. Wang gave him during her lifetime and made a grab for her entire estate. Click here to read the whole story from CTV News.

Even before Chan stupidly forged the will, it seems to me that he was taking advantage of an older, wealthy person who was too trusting. She paid him millions but it doesn't seem that he ever found the missing husband. Mrs. Wang's estate was left to a charity, so it seems that she didn't have close family around. No doubt Chan thought that there was nobody close enough to Mrs. Wang to question a new will leaving everything to him.

I'm glad he's no longer free, and cannot treat other seniors this way.
