Who stitched up J Arthur Brown?

Four years after he was arrested for the first time on 192 criminal charges, Arthur Brown, the controversial and much-maligned founder of the Fidentia group, has applied to the high court to order the “immediate and permanent” stay of his prosecution on all criminal charges pending against him.

After all the years of media hype and courtroom drama, there are, as it happens, finally only six main charges left standing against him.

Whether his application for a stay of prosecution is successful or not, the case will see all his main accusers having to answer to the public on charges as serious as any Arthur Brown has faced.

Based on this article it looks very much like the endemic, world wide, virus called 'Lack of Ethics' has infected a much broader segment of our society than I was aware of [yes I am still somewhat naive] and certainly doesnt give one a warm feeling about our Main Stream Media's obiectivity. I sincerely hope that THE TRUTH manages to get its head above the murky waters of our SA journalism. It may actually cause editors and sub-editors to do their job properly.
I do hope that in your follow up/s you mention your Shades-of-brown [issue 89]

Editor's Note
We don't need to remind readers of what we had published then, but the culpability of respective media houses should not exclude any individual journalist (media house), had we done our respective works properly and earlier, J Arthur Brown, Fidentia and all their clients would not have lost the much that they have lost under curatorship. But we shall do our best to tell our readers as much as we can without fearing that nasty rotten egg's smell on our faces.

I must say that this is quite an eye opener.

In my book Brown was the lowest form of swine; but then my view was based on the Mail & Guardian stories and the hysteria on the nightly news channels.

If what you say proves to be true; what is the recourse?
Can Brown sue someone for loss of his business empire and massive slander and if so would he have the funds to embark on such a protracted court case?

Editor's Note
Only time would tell... there could be several settlements on the cards, but how much (in monetary terms) can earn one his dignity back?

Eishh what about the Company in Centurion he purchased for 40 odd million that was worth less then 5 million. Infinity Rewards ????

Editor's Note
It depends on whose valuation... continue reading noseweek for further revelations, if the 5million is based on the curator's flogging amounts then don't miss the next Noseweek?
