Boardroom Talk – Craig Warriner, financial predator’s circle of influence was Sandton’s St Stithians

By Alec Hogg

My life is full of scoundrels at the moment. As details emerge about the extravagant Craig Warriner, so too does information about the Ponzi scheme operator's modus operandi. A picture is forming of a financial predator who deeply infiltrated Johannesburg's private school, St Stithians, where he matriculated in 1982.

Warriner, an above-average swimmer in his youth, was described to me as a typical schoolyard bully. After completing national service, he became an insurance salesman at Liberty Life before starting his own financial advisory business—and subsequently the BHI Trust, which is at the centre of the scandal.
