Steven Chin Leung

Steven Chin Leung attempted to fake his death in the twin towers disaster to evade a charge of passport fraud. Leung fabricated an email to show that he was working for an organisation based in the twin towers that lost over 650 employees. Leung posed as a non-existent brother to report his death.

Leung was sentenced to 4 years in jail
