He was a man whose financial acumen impressed several hard-nosed businesspeople. Backed by references from a respected lawyer, he was a well-connected broker who could provide funds for big international projects... At least, that’s what he claimed on his LinkedIn profile. Using the business networking platform to contact brokers who acted on his behalf to secure clients, he lured people in with the promise of millions in investment funds. The only catch was the payment of an underwriting fee, refundable once the deal was finalised. But the refunds never materialised. The so-called LinkedIn Swindler duped 39 clients from around the world, vanishing with their money and unfulfilled promises of investment.

And here i thought ANC was the only tsotsi in the game,,but then again tsotsiism knows no bounds and race.
I don't understand how many intelligent and business minded studied individuals fall for the oldest trick in the book. If anyone says to you, you have to pay them money to receive money🚩
Why would anyone pay to be paid😢
An underwriters fee is never paid in advance. It’s paid when the funds are procured
If found guilty, he should be locked up for a very long time!
We live in a time where scamming and criminality is a day to day job for many.
Yall should be investigating Gwede Mantashe's oldest son an the capital flows that have helped him set up his farming empire.
Why would anyone pay to be paid😢
Bro thought he was the Wolf of Wall Street
With all carte exposing and no prosecution it's just wow
This was excellent. I really hope that he will get his day in court very soon. These scammers make me sick to the bone. She exited according to her when she saw there was a problem. My problem with her is that she kept quiet despite enjoying the luxurious lifestyle with him for 18 months. She also benefitted and should be charged.
Great reporting! Hope this story motivates and aids in his arrest and some justice for his alleged crimes.
Erin and Govan are so Carte Blanche! Excellent journalists.
Thank you for this segment,
South Africa has become the heaven for criminals, and all sort of syndicates it’s a shame how a beautiful country has become a hidden place for criminals
Wonderful journalism. Thank you for sharing.
Catherine, you are genius!
Great story with professional production.
Thank you for making us aware of yet another swindling scam out there. I agree, they must do jail time and loose everything so these victims can get something back
