Bill Foo and Foo resorts and casinos and Foo Foundation and Foo Technologies and Engineering Corp
Seems like a hoax, I searched for any concrete mention if Bill Foo or Foo Say Mui, his companies or products and couldn't find anything. There does seem to be a Foo Say Mui, but his only mention is of a shareholder of INTEGRA2000 LTD, which a Bill Foo is the Chairman of the Audit Committee and is Independent Director. The article claims that Bill Foo started PT ANZ Pennin bank in Indonesia but the web site states that that bank was operating well before that and was working in Indonesia starting in 1973. There is also no results from a search for Foo technologies Engenieering Corp (FTEC) or Foo resorts and casinos. I can't find any mention of him in terms of being the second richest man in Indonesia at Forbes or anywhere else. FTEC building a submarine that "cultivates crops [to] provide air for the crew seems a little fishy. I'm certainly willing to be proved wrong, but I can't find anything that confirms this entry. There's a group of articles about his companies that I'll have to add also.

I can find no mention for Foo resorts and casinos and not a single return for the Majah Pahid Hotel mentioned in the Foo resorts and casinos article. Rx StrangeLove 15:04, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Adding the associated Bill Foo pages one at a time. I can find no mention of Foo Technologies and Engineering Corp or it's "Foo class" submarine. Nothing even close. Rx StrangeLove 15:58, 31 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete unless verified. I feel a Fool, I started to clean-up these and fix the titles - but I should have checked the veracity first. --Doc (?) 15:50, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finishing these off! What a waste of time! Rx StrangeLove 15:59, 31 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. I noticed these as they went by earlier.  Looked like a hoax, but I was too lazy to totally verify.  Mmmbeer 16:45, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete apparent hoax. -- Etacar11   00:19, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The only thing that I hate worse than sockpuppets are plausible-sounding hoax articles designed to do nothing more than cause a problem like this. Delete and consider banning user.  I feel very strongly about this sort of behavior.  After all, silence is foo!  :^)  - Lucky 6.9 05:46, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
