Runaway millionaire's petrol station gets new life
Abandoned since its then-owner, Leo Gao, became the "runaway millionaire", a former Rotorua service station will soon be resurrected as a takeaway joint.
It's been five years since Gao and Kara Hurring fled New Zealand after Westpac accidentally gave Gao a $10 million overdraft.
What was then his BP service station on the corner of Otonga and Old Taupo Rds has remained empty since.
