Diplomat dragged to court over Ponzi scheme

A DIPLOMAT linked to an Asian country has been dragged before the Harare Magistrates’ Court accused of swindling his countrymen in the diaspora of millions of dollars in a Ponzi scheme.

This emerged last week when a Harare woman, Vimbai Dzingirai, was dragged to court charged with cyber-bullying the diplomat’s accomplice in the Ponzi scheme, Pride Miti.

The former Asian honorary diplomat Shamiso Fred was cited as the chairperson of the Ponzi scheme.
