    Polaris Securities Co (Ä_¨ÓÃÒ¨é) chairman Wayne Pai (¥Õ¤å¥¿) was released yesterday on NT$20 million (US$650,000) bail by Taipei prosecutors investigating alleged embezzlement at the company. Pai was summoned for questioning yesterday afternoon and was released at about 8pm. Pai and some employees are suspected of pocketing several hundred million dollars by selling shares of Polaris International Securities Investment Trust Co (Ä_¨Ó§ë«H) to Polaris Securities in 2004, at a price of NT$69 per share.

    Prosecutors suspect the 2004 deal closed at about NT$900 million (US$29 million) with NT$500 million out of that amount going to Pai, his relatives and other company executives.
