How is this any different from fractional reserve banking? Or creating of fictious money out of thin air? You do realise that your mortgages and loans are just digits entered on the computer. This man was just doing what the bankers do except he did not enlist the help of the government to do so.
What is required is the educating of the general public. How can they be duped like this? The people who responded to his adverts were adults, who should be held accountable for their actions.
If this man is quilty, then ALL our politicians are also quilty for getting elected on false premises. They NEVER keep their campaign promises.
:-w yaba. thats why some of you still pay to photocopy plane papers =)) ukupwalala =)) send the business man to prison.
Kaonde Chinedu…lol there’s a lot of con artists in Zed, the ones that dont chase after you are false prophets, spiritual healers, and priests in the local churches!
This is why we want people with degrees to run the affairs of the nation. How can one believe in such a thing?
Ha ha ha but why is he not rich himself if he can multiply the money ?
Nawawo Chineke.
Why even categorize the tribe of the man? Kaondes has nothing to do with witch just as bembas don’t have anything Chiluba’s canning mind. People should be able to work hard and be a blessing to other than self centerness, they will keep on been cheated. Chiluba was cheated too in arm sell by Katoto, hope guys you remember? ……In America, everyday , there is always the talk of the Americangreed!!!
This one is an excellent conman if he can actually dupe so many with such an unbelievable promise. They deserve it.
Tax evasion at its best. Now ZRA should come in and arrest even the businessmen for trying to evade tax. Serious offense. Njala pa Zed. You may do anything to look for cash but what goes round comes around.
