CASH CON: KRION SCHEME DUPED AN ENTIRE TOWN

- Hein Kaiser

South Africa has seen its fair share of creative cons, but few were as destructive as the Krion investment scheme led by Marietjie Prinsloo, better known as the "Angel of Vanderbijlpark".

She managed to decimate an entire town with her schemes.

That was until the scheme collapsed, leaving over R1.5 billion in losses and thousands of people out of pocket.
