Kidnapping and death in absentia
Wang was abducted on 12 April 1983,[2] when his Mercedes-Benz was hijacked.[3] He was taken away and chained to a bed for eight days until Nina Wang paid a ransom of HK$33 million.
Wang was kidnapped again on 10 April 1990 as he left the Jockey Club in Hong Kong. His abductors demanded HK$60 million. His wife Nina paid an installment of $34 million, but Wang was not returned. Several of the alleged kidnappers were caught and said that the 56-year-old Wang had been thrown into the sea from a sampan on 13 April.[4] His body was never found and he was declared legally dead in 1999. Wang's will was disputed by Nina, the eventual chief beneficiary. According to Nina's personal assistant, she had received phone calls from Teddy up to the year 2000.[5]
