Deposed Prince Needs Your Cash To Unlock His Fortune

You have to admire the spirit and tenacity of the Crafars in refusing to give up hope (even if there's plenty not to admire about them). Allan Crafar still believes he can find the money to pay off all the debts and save the family's operations.

And what, you ask, is this hope based on? The Dom Post tells us:
The Crafars said they expected to be able to pay their debts before the Overseas Investment Office could rule. 
"It should have already happened by now, except for a bit of a hiccup," Mrs Crafar said.

The couple are trying to secure $2.7m from an unnamed Australian investor to pay the application fee for a US$200m loan from an institutional investor in Bahrain, who would source the cash from Swiss bank accounts.
Sounds like your classic Nigerian 419 scam to me. Is that really their best hope?

  1. I am convinced that Alan Crafar is secretly being advised by Don Brash. Why have you not spotted this connection?

I welcome comments, but I ask commenters to follow a few simple rules:

1. I delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or moniker. I am not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2. Please don't abuse or defame others.
3. Moronic or nonsensical comments may be deleted.
4. I don't often exercise the heavy hand of censorship, but I do reserve the right to delete any comment I don't like, for any reason.
