In 2017, a former New Zealand harness-racing trainer was found guilty of fraud after marketing a fictitious horse. He allegedly bet more than $2 million illegally before declaring bankruptcy this past week.
The suspect filed for bankruptcy a month prior to his racing ban, with $270,000 in outstanding debts.
He bet over $2 million on horse and dog races just before that, though, and lost nearly $1 million. The New Zealand Insolvency Act makes that illegal.
