Here in the West, a man caught spending too much money in "hostess bars" (roughly the same as gentleman's clubs) would probably be in a "helluva" lot of trouble with his better half. Here is a odd story from Japan, where a Keiko Kawaida's wife (Kazuo) not only didn't seem to mind her husband's behavior, but actually stole about 1 billion yen from her employer to pay for his "recreational" activities.
Yoshihito Kawami of the The Asahi Shimbun reported:
"Faced with mounting debts from her husband's visits to hostess bars, a middle-aged bank clerk allegedly cooked up an embezzlement scheme that netted almost a billion yen over the next 12 years, according to police.
Until the arrests of Keiko Kawaida, 55, in November and her husband, Kazuo Kawaida, 57, earlier this month, the couple went on a decade-long spree, making overseas trips and squandering hundreds of millions of yen at the racetrack, according to police."
For the full story by Yoshihito Kawami read Police: Clerk skims 1 billion yen to pay off husband's debts. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Hostess Bars: Hostess bar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Here is a well known (some consider odd) page on the internet, Sam Sloan's Home Page. Sam often writes about the virtues of his numerous Asian wives. Perhaps, I can get him to leave a comment on my blog?
Oh well, I'd better get back to the more serious task of informing the public on Fraud, Phishing and Financial Misdeeds.
