...
They used the device to electronically wire 720,000 yuan in non-existent

This file is much too big and sort of wanders around a bit, sorry
about this i've been gathering info as per usual and sometimes its
difficult to 'hold on' to some material for later release. Anyway
I hope you enjoy this issue, and bear with us while we try and get
things organized into an effective well tweaked digest.
Oh ya, happy new year... and best of whatever you celebrate to those
celebrating this December. I know Orthodox Macedonian Christians
celebrate on Jan 7th as the birth of Christ since they use a different
calendar but there I go wandering again, its late, or early and time
to shut this baby down. ttys... next issue Jan 13th 1999. l8z.
