In an extraordinary report for 60 MINUTES, Adele Ferguson interviews one of the key players involved in a highly dubious global financial scheme that has trapped hundreds of investors in Australia, and thousands more around the world. In the interview, the former trusted senior advisor makes startling confessions about how he enticed his clients into buying financial products that he now admits were worthless. But while they suffered, he profited by accepting secret kickbacks.
Ferguson’s investigation, compiled in conjunction with her reporting for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, estimates that more than six billion dollars in funds is unaccounted for, either because it doesn’t exist or is hidden in complicated company structures in overseas tax havens. It is expected that further action from financial authorities around the world, including the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, is imminent.
