- Summary:
-
“Twenty chapters, each is a different but complete story of crime, actual and attempted, within the superannuation industry. Contains elements of biography of the author as a general manager, trustee and consultant to several of Australia’s top superannuation funds and later as an investigator. Chapters relate how murderers sought to claim the superannuation of victims, an attempt by a ‘widow’ to claim a death benefit on a still alive husband and an opportunistic couple and their teenage daughters who colluded to bury a ‘spare’ corpse. Attempts by contributors to fraudulently obtain total and permanent disability benefits with forged medical documents are disclosed as is the humorous method employed by a doctor to reveal the ploy of a swindler and the coercion inflicted by a manager to obtain a resignation from a would-be swindler. Fates of frauds involving ingestion of substances to imitate serious cardiac conditions are aired. Details how psychiatric disability as abused by a contributor and his psychiatrist mistress to manipulate sections of the medical and legal professions to rip off several superannuation funds. Murder by axe, poison and the ‘accidental’ discharge of five bullets from a .303 rifle into the back of an inconvenient husband by a violent woman make fascinating reading. Persecutions of superannuation fund managers are featured, one in particular being at diplomatic level. A ‘royal ‘ who was conman scum and tales of tainted trustees of similar ilk are eye-openers. The scale of defrauding of super funds by conmen with dodgy investments and embezzling employees are sure to cause unease, particularly the thefts of millions of unrecoverable dollars by dozens of swindlers from SMSFs. How a super employee got away with millions from a bank employees fund and the $150 million attempted fraud by a gang of criminals that came so close to success. This book is a fascinating and totally engrossing, entirely different, aspect of the superannuation industry. Superannuation is Australia’s most massive, highly profitable and hence highly competitive industry. The industry fears any exposure of its weaknesses. This is the book the industry dreads.” --Back cover.
