document.write("How did they do it? How did Tannenbaum persuade RMB Private Bank to pay hundred's of million of Rands to the foreign bank accounts of the exporters for non existing imports of chemicals? You need signed documentation (Bill of Lading, Inspection report, etc...) before a banker can pay the importer offshore. I'm stumped to think that RMB Private Bank reported suspicions to authorities 2 years ago but that no one at the Reserve Bank and Customs and Excise saw anything wrong. Or is it just a convenient ruse for the victims pretending to be scammed by someone who is pretending to scam them. There is a bigger scam going on here - that being Tannenbaum and the alleged victims got together and found a way to squirrel large amounts of money out of the country in contravention of foreign exchange controls. The pretence of the investigating authorities and the high court action to declare Tannenbaum bankrupt is but the last episode of this farce. And we'll know that is true when no one gets convicted after a reasonable amount of time. The smart money has found a smart way to emigrate.. Soetpoppie");
