I posted somewhere else that I do not for a moment believe that Francois De Bruyn, the top salesman, had no knowledge of this.

Look at the video again when Dereck interviews him: straightforward questions he keeps eye contact, but on any question regarding sales or fraud have a look at how evasive his eyes nd body language gets.

Then ask yourself the question, why would Dempster ask him to delete transactions from his phone and laptop...

Chances are they are all a bunch of skelms, kop in een mus.

I struggle to understand cases like this...

Operating a well established company, based in a great location, supporting a large but loyal industry... Should have (probably was) a mini goldmine on it's own...

And I agree, this has the same sound as some other ventures that went sideways... Did not actively participate in the BS but was all to happy to "look the other way while profiting"

This story aired just after the guy that supplied Conquerer Caravans in Wellington also went bust.

The guy would also take deposits and then never supply vans.

Anyway. The reason I tell you that is, people are going to trust 4x4 Centers and Caravan places less and less with their money.

I would certainly think twice before I part with a large amount of cash at any of these places now

Good point Mike.
I too don't trust anyone in the Western Cape...
