CONspicuous Crocodile Skin Shoes The foundation for Barry Kloogh’s Ponzi scheme was laid so long ago that the sitcom M.A.S.H was likely still releasing weekly episodes. Only Barry knows when his offending really started but one thing we do know is that he started digging those foundational footings for his house of cards, right back at the beginning of his career in the eighties. And how do I know this? Well, that's when my Parents -in -Law, David and Noeline crossed paths with him….

CONduit of Pain Of the 12 charges that Barry KLoogh pled guilty to charge number 12 related just to the fraud of Karyn and Chris Churcher. Now to put that in perspective, keep in mind, there are 81 victims in the case. So to have one of the 12 charges relate to only two victims, Barry had to have done something different, something bespoke…..turns out when it comes to cons, one size doesn't fit all.  BE THE FIRST TO GET NEW EPISODES - SUBSCRIBE NOW SEARCH K-L-O-O-G-H-L-E-S-S Message us on instagram : @conmunitypodcast https://sarahferrismedia.com Special thanks to all the Victims that shared their stories and to Dr Sohom Das for his insight as a Forensic Psychiatrist You can find more from Dr Das @psychforsoreminds NOTE: Some Victims names have been altered to protect privacy.

EPISODE 5 The InCONceivable Truth In the last two episodes, we heard the stories of many of the victims as it led up to the date, the Serious Fraud Office raided Authorized Financial Advisor, Barry Kloogh’s Dunedin offices.

EPISODE 6 An External CONundrum  In the last episode, we left the Victims, unraveling the mess of Barry's Ponzi scheme and with little help from the Serious Fraud Office, they were left to do the legwork individually, because of course at that stage, they had no way of connecting with any of the other Victims. It was a lonely, isolating and panic-filled limbo. And the key to discovering if any of their money was safe, seemed to boil down to one little word ……External BE THE FIRST TO GET NEW EPISODES - SUBSCRIBE NOW SEARCH K-L-O-O-G-H-L-E-S-S Message us on instagram : @conmunitypodcast https://sarahferrismedia.com This is a CONmunity Podcast Production  Special thanks to all the Victims that shared their stories and to Dr Sohom Das for his insight as a Forensic Psychiatrist You can find more from Dr Das @psychforsoreminds NOTE: Some Victims names have been altered to protect privacy.
