    On the balance of probabilities the respondent could have been convicted of money laundering, had benefited from the laundering, and stayed away from Hong Kong after his last departure knowing or believing the account would be used for laundering; accordingly the respondent is an absconder under OSCO, the corporate veil is lifted given his effective control as sole authorised signatory, and a confiscation order of the account balance is warranted.
