Dude was talking big numbers

How do you scam your own business partners?

Don't think many can actually exist without some thieving

This storybdoesnt make sense at all! If he forged NHLS docs to defraud his friends, why did NHLS also lose so much money when all their info can be accessed electronically and traced back to the resolution to award the 'tender'? Theres more to this.... Mxm

Well that worked out well for him then. Hopefully his investors learnt not to trust BBBEE cronies.

My dawg

And that is how you get rich

Good.
