In his many years of operating already, surprisingly this has not happened...

That's because the longer a scammer operates, the better they become, and the better they choose their targets. I can name numerous scammers that operate in SA - named and outed to SAPS with warrants and all, but they're still roaming free because of technicalities and absolute BS.

Happily its also true that the longer a scammer operates the more confident, careless and complacent they may become. I know of a badass debt collection scammer who ripped people off with impunity for more than a decade until he took on a guy badder than himself through an error of judgement. It was a beautiful thing. BTW, what is this SAPS of which you speak?

SAPS - South African Paperpushing Service

Groenewald, hmmm. There's a scammer who operated on Carbonite for YEARS, who is also a Groenewald. His parents were apparently also involved. He did a stint in jail in Potch at a time, but was released. He's stolen hundreds of thousands, if not millions, in the time I know of.

I wonder if they're related.

When I first got into guns in the 90's the gun trade was much smaller than it is now.

The trade had a much more direct, and permanent, way of resolving issues with people like this.

Playing the victim is typical Jonathan Stephenson tactic. Perhaps he got involved with someone like himself... still doesn't make him less of a sharlatan...
