MH370: Malaysian banker and husband charged with stealing from victims of missing plane
Posted 20 Aug 2014, 8:25pmWed 20 Aug 2014, 8:25pm

A Malaysian bank officer and her husband have been charged with forgery, theft and other offences after allegedly stealing more than $30,000 from the accounts of four people who were aboard missing flight MH370.

Nur Shila Kanan, who has worked for the Malaysian operations of British banking giant HSBC for 10 years, and her mechanic husband Basheer Ahmad Maula Sahul Hameed pleaded not guilty in a Kuala Lumpur court to a total of 16 charges, their lawyer Hakeem Aiman Affandi said.

The couple, who have three children and are both aged 33, are alleged to have withdrawn a total of $34,850 from the accounts of two Malaysians and two Chinese nationals who were on the Malaysia Airlines flight.

The withdrawals were allegedly made via ATMs and electronic transfers between May 14 and July 8, Mr Hakeem added.

Each could face several years in prison if convicted.

The charges include illegally transferring money electronically, which alone carries up to 10 years in prison.

Police are still looking for another suspect, a Pakistani, who is believed to have had some of the money deposited into his bank account through an online transfer.

The case has provoked outrage in Malaysia, which has seen an outpouring of sympathy for MH370 victims and their families.

The Malaysia Airlines plane lost contact with air traffic controllers en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 with 239 people aboard, including six Australians, and mysteriously disappeared.

The Boeing 777 is believed to have veered off course and crashed in the southern Indian Ocean but no sign of wreckage has been found thus far.

^How would they have got the cash cards?

[jamescollister]

^How would they have got the cash cards?

Cards are cloned, if you have the data, lots of ways to get the information, bank worker, on line ID theft, etc.
100,000s a year get done.

One I was involved with, people applying for a job, name address, credit check, history, what cards do you hold for the credit check.

Crim applied for cards not held by the victims, had all the info and had moved to a new address.

Billions go in credit fraud.

Just getting back to the main point....

In the absence of further information, I have been ruminating over the reports by Maldive locals, of a white plane with red stripe which flew over them very low that morning.
Does anyone know if these reports were looked into THOROUGHLY ? And if so, just HOW thoroughly ? We haven't heard a lot more about them.

[harrybarracuda]

^How would they have got the cash cards?

They wouldn't need to. They just needed to transfer the money to other accounts with cards to which they had access.

Maybe the reason that you haven't heard a lot more about them is that they were probably easily explained by a circling aircraft about to land at Nasir Int'l Airport and the excitable chatter of some attention seeking locals and desperate journos.

Does anyone know if these reports were looked into THOROUGHLY ? And if so, just HOW thoroughly ? We haven't heard a lot more about them.

The reports were dismissed by the local authorities on the grounds that it was only lowly locals who saw the plane.


"Several witnesses in Dhaalu Atoll saw a plane heading south that bore the red stripe and white background of Malaysia Airlines planes.
The sightings, reported by a local news outlet, would have occurred more than seven hours after the plane.... lost contact with air traffic control and took its sudden westward turn during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in the early hours of Saturday March 8."

“I’ve never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We’ve seen seaplanes, but I’m sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly,” said an witness.

“It’s not just me either, several other residents have reported seeing the exact same thing. Some people got out of their houses to see what was causing the tremendous noise too.”

The chances of another aircraft of that size flying over the island at the time were, according to Maldives sources, very low.

Though authorities are yet to confirm the sighting, the plane’s pilot, Captain Zaharie Shah, is believed to have practised landing at Male International Airport in the Maldives on a three-screen flight simulator at his home. The machine has been seized by police.

A report in a Malay language newspaper, Berita Harian, claimed Capt Zaharie also practised at three airports in India and Sri Lanka and a runway at the US military base on Diego Garcia.

Police would not confirm the details about the flight simulator.

Authorities in Malaysia have confirmed that they believe the flight was deliberately interfered with and that its communications system intentionally disabled before the plane flew “invisible” for a further seven to eight hours."

Next phase of missing Malaysian jet search to be challenging

August 23, 2014 - 13:19 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The next phase of the hunt for the Malaysia Airlines jet MH370 missing since March 8 will be very challenging in places, BBC News reports.
Detailed information being gathered about the shape of the ocean floor west of Australia confirms the seabed in some locations to be extremely rugged.
Two vessels - the Fugro Equator and the Zhu Kezhen - are currently mapping an area covering 60,000 sq km. This survey will guide a metre-by-metre search using towed instruments and submersibles. This is likely to get under way towards the end of September. The Australian authorities have warned that this could take a year to complete.
The Dutch-owned Fugro Equator and the Chinese naval vessel Zhu Kezhen are presently assembling a bathymetric (depth) map.
It covers the general location in the southern Indian Ocean where investigators believe MH370 is most likely to have come down.
The map is akin to a broad canvas - a first-ever proper look at a terrain about which there is the slimmest of knowledge.
It is essential work. Without this map, which has a resolution of roughly 25m in the deepest depths, it would not be safe to put down submersibles, as there is a high risk these vehicles would be lost.
"There are volcanoes down there we've found which were unknown before," says Paul Kennedy from Fugro Survey Pty Ltd.
"There are all sorts of new features that are appearing," the BBC quoted the company's project director for the MH370 search as saying.
The Fugro Equator is equipped with a state-of-the-art multibeam echosounder. The vast majority of the area it is covering has never been sampled before. It has recorded depths near to 6,000m. Even the shallow regions are more than 1,000m down. But it is the craggy nature of the seabed that will prompt extreme caution to be exercised in the next phase of operations.
Fugro has been contracted by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau to conduct this part of the search as well. It will involve the Equator and another ship, the Fugro Discovery. Both ships will pull a deep-tow instrument very close to the sea floor using a 10,000m armoured fibre-optic cable.

They're wasting their time.

The plane landed elsewhere.

[Latindancer]

Quite possibly. The Maldives incident has not yet been discounted to my satisfaction.

But you never know, they may find traces of ancient civilizations or underwater UFO bases

No evidence of a prang into the sea.

Plenty of evidence of MH370's pilot's interest in landing at out of the way Indian Ocean area landing strips.

The plane headed off across the Indian Ocean.

Reported sighting at Maldives of a large aircraft fitting the description of MH370.

Ridiculous. Show me a photo of the plane at the Maldives airport, or anywhere.
It's a pretty big thing to hide. Not to mention the passengers.

[ENT]

Don't you be ridiculous!

A sighting of such a large plane was reported in the Maldives, as well you know!

How about you showing a picture of the plane crashed in the Indian Ocean, instead?

Zero evidence of anybody seeing it take a dive into the Indian Ocean.

You're just goose-stepping along with the US/Oz smokescreen propaganda.

Bit of a tall order there ENT.... not likely to be many folks with cameras hanging around in the Southern Ocean 1600 kms from land....with the crap weather and not a lot to photograph apart from the odd Albatross or Petrel maybe.....

On the other hand if it had landed on some island, large or small, it would be pretty difficult to keep it all under wraps this long...don't ya think?....

Why so?

If USA wanted the plane for some reason, I doubt that they'd even admit to having it at Diego Garcia, for one.....all there would be sworn to secrecy anyway.

If it landed at another Indian Ocean island, it would have to have been pre-arranged, and I'm sure that if that was the case, only a few would be "in" on the deal.

How many ground people would be needed to land and effectively hide such a craft in that case?

A dozen?

As for the passengers et al, they might be imprisoned or dead and dumped.

“I can confirm that the Malaysian Chief of the Defence Force has contacted his counterpart in the Maldives, who has confirmed that these reports are not true,” said Malaysia's Transport Minister, Hishamuddin Hussein, accusing the islanders and/or Maldives’ reporters of lying.


Oh, well....that's ok then
But hardly thorough .

Erm...no.

You're an idiot.

Eyewitness reports of a possible sighting of missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 flying near the Maldives have been officially discounted in a statement issued by the Maldives National Defence Force.

These reports were also confirmed by Malaysia's Transport Minister, Hishamuddin Hussein.

"Based on the monitoring up to date, no indication of Flight MH370 has been observed on any military radars in the country,” the statement said.

"Furthermore, the data of radars at Maldives airports have also been analysed and shows no indication of the said flight. The Maldives National Defence Force will continue to render any assistance required by the Maldives Police Service and international authorities on the search for the missing flight and related issues.”

What would the US want with an MAS 777-200 they have enough of their own.
