After the Leeson fled Singapore, it came to light that they had made travel arrangements to leave the country before the entire affair came to a head. Two weeks before the bank collapsed, Mrs. Leeson made arrangements with international moving company Four Winds Logistics Service Pte Ltd to leave Singapore in early March.
Diane Massimiani, an assistant manager at the company, had visited the Leesons’ apartment on 15 February to assess the cost of packing for their move to England. “They were taking only basic stuff’ like the television, hi-fi and kitchenware,” she said. “They were not taking furniture.”
She spent 30 minutes in the apartment and Mrs. Leeson showed her around.
The move to Kent was estimated to cost $3,000. Massimiani received a call on 24 February from a friend of the couple, who said that they were on holiday but wanted to confirm their upcoming departure on 1 March. Of course, the couple had already left the country by then.
