Kris Ridgway is a conman who used his position at a respected financial firm to push unauthorised, high risk investment products to his trusting clients. He made at least $1.6 million in commissions, but his investors haven’t seen a cent.
And now he's confessed.
Ridgway was part of a dubious investment scheme that's left Australian families millions of dollars out of pocket.
He tells investigative journalist for The Sydney Morning Herald, Adele Ferguson in a joint investigation with 60 Minutes that he's hit "rock bottom", that he's ashamed of his acts, and that he fears ending up in a prison cell.
Today, Adele reveals the surprise phone call that led to Ridgway's stunning confession, and the clients he bled dry.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
