Coin-It scheme trio back in court again this month
This is to allow the defence to file a further affidavit regarding their application for documents.
Malcolm de Beer (54), Patricia de Beer (53) and Samantha de Beer (31) – all of Dundee – are charged with fraud (with the alternative charge of theft) to the amount of approximately R73.6 million.
They are also charged with contravention of the Financial Advisory & Intermediary Services Act, the Banks Act, and money laundering. The trio are out on R50,000 bail.
Coin-It promised starry-eyed investors riches that would lead them on their 'route to success'. While many who poured money into the scheme accrued riches beyond their wildest dreams, hundreds more lost their hard-earned money when the Dundee-based pyramid scheme came crashing down, leaving many distraught.

Alpine appoint Nielsen to run F1 team day-to-day
Renault-owned Alpine appointed former sporting director Steve Nielsen on Friday to handle the day-to-day running of the Formula One team after the departure of principal Oliver Oakes. The Enstone-based team, effectively run by executive adviser and former principal Flavio Briatore who will continue to have overall charge, said Nielsen would start work as MD on September 1. Nielsen has most recently been working for Liberty Media-owned Formula One, after a brief period as sporting director at the governing FIA. He was also sporting director when Renault won championships in 2005 and 2006 under Briatore. Alpine, last in the constructors' championship but switching to Mercedes engines next year, also appointed Kris Midgley as head of aerodynamic development. Midgley previously worked at Ferrari as principal aerodynamicist and is also returning to the Enstone factory after a stint from 2007 to 2013. Oakes, the team's fifth boss in four turbulent seasons, resigned in May for personal reasons after being appointed in July last year.
