A stupid conman

A Labour Party “rising star” and local body official, David Mako, has now pleaded guilty to $85,000 of fraud. One of the victims is an organisations he voted to fund as a member of the communioty board.

I am surprised Labour did not have him stand down once he was charged.

But what is the bigger surprise is that his fraud involved a Nigerian 419 type scam where you convince people to give up money so that it can be used to free up a larger sum of monev overseas. How on earth did he think he would ever get away with it?
