Feng shui master gets 12 years for forging Nina Wang’s will

HONG KONG, July 5 (UPI) -- A court in Hong Kong sentenced a feng shui master to 12 years in prison Friday for forging the will of the late billionaire heiress "Little Sweetie" Nina Wang.

Peter Chan, formerly known as Tony Chan, was found guilty of forging Wang's will to make him the recipient of her $4 billion fortune, the BBC reported.

"I have no doubt from the evidence I have heard that you are nothing more than a clever and no doubt beguiling charlatan," said Justice Andrew Macrae.

The judge said Chan had shown "not the slightest remorse" for his conduct.

Chan served as Wang's master of feng shui -- a system of laws governing spacial arrangement and flow of energy -- and was her lover and confidante for more than 14 years, officials said.

Chan presented the fake will -- allegedly signed by Wang in 2006 -- after her 2007 death from cancer.

The eccentric billionaire's family disputed the will and said her last legitimate will left her fortune to a charity run by her siblings, Chinachem Charitable Foundation Ltd., CNN said.

Wang was the widow of industrialist Teddy Wang, who was kidnapped in 1990 and never heard from again. Authorities declared him legally dead in 1999.

The Wangs amassed their fortune from property deals.
