Harry and the Hindu Credit Union- My column- 12 July 2011

Shorn of its religious façade and relieved of its socio-political tie-backs, the HCU complaints are rooted in simple fraud and deception. And like the CLICO matter which runs in parallel, it is not the work of the leadership only. Fraud was configured at the top but featured glib salesmen at the centre. It was fraud advertised and contracted, touted in three and four-colour brochures and peddled by men in suits. And at each stage of the con-job the divine path to financial freedom was buffeted by doses of spirituality and politics, all in equal measure, each one a little more daring.
