Additional Information

In the early 1990s, shortly after the stockbroking firm of which Max Pollak & Freemantle merged with Frankel, Kruger, Vinderine, it was discovered that the newly inherited star brokerage generator was doing so illegally. Greg Blank was the sharp end of a front-running syndicate that included a couple of Old Mutual portfolio managers. The syndicate bought shares Old Mutual had earmarked for purchase, and sold them on to the institution at inflated prices. The stockbroking firm made juicy brokerage and syndicate members pocketed the difference. Once he discovered it, Shapiro reported what was going on and all hell broke lose. One of the Old Mutual managers committed suicide, the other fled to Italy and Blank, who alone stayed to face the music, ended up serving time in jail. A couple decades later, Blank is totally rehabilitated. Having semi-grated to Cape Town, he now applies his ever sharp faculties to investing in shares for himself and friends and making money out of his passion for horse racing.
