    A second person's pleaded guilty to their role in a four-million dollar ponzi scheme

    A second person's pleaded guilty to their role in a four-million dollar ponzi scheme


    Aroha Awhinanui Tuira has admitted two charges of obtaining by deception in the Christchurch High Court, before her trial began today.

    Her husband and co-defendant, Thomas Alexander Kokouri Tuira, pleaded guilty last week.

    The Serious Fraud Office says the pair deceptively obtained 3.9 million dollars in the six years to May 2021.

    It was used to pay other investors, and personal and business expenses.

    They'll be sentenced in November.
