BizNews Edge: Paul Hoffman on BEE fronting, fraud

One of the campus six signed a confession and agreed to pay NTT R208 million. The other four said he was under pressure and cut a deal to save himself. Paul Hoffman SC of Accountability Now told Alec Hogg what Jason Goodall's statement means in law, and why the Supreme Court of Appeal, which reserved judgment in May, may not be able to consider it at all. He set out the criminal exposure he believes the remaining directors face, from fraud and conflict of interest to PRECCA and BEE fronting, and what he would advise the man who has gone quiet. He also explained how a plea deal could turn Goodall into a state witness, why no prosecutor has yet shown an interest, and why he thinks white-collar criminals in South Africa still calculate that they will get away with it.
