A: Hey! Did you hear about something crazy happening in Hong Kong?

B: No! What’s going on? Tell me!

B: Wow! How much?

A: Fifty-one million yen! That's almost $330,000!

B: Seriously?! Who did it?

A: Four people! Three Japanese guys and one Chinese guy. They've been charged with conspiracy.

B: Three Japanese? That’s surprising… What were they doing?
