The Case of the magic cheese

Emirates24/7- A French court on Tuesday jailed a woman for three years for conning thousands of Chileans into buying a kit to make “magic cheese” they could sell back to French cosmetics firms for use in luxury beauty products.

Gilberte Van Erpe, 74, was given a six-year prison sentence – three years suspended – and a 250,000-euro ($270,000) fine for her scam in which she told victims the product they could make at home was a prized ingredient used in creams favoured by celebrities such as Michael Jackson.

But the goop was worthless and the scam became one of the biggest pyramid schemes ever seen in South America. more

  1. Why is scamming ignorant fucking Chileans a crime in France?

    Maybe we could get the French to try and exec … uhh … convict Obola for scamming America for the past 8 years.

  2. I subscribe to Caveat emptor, but those poor Chileans have been taken care of by their gov for so long, they are gullible, just like the rich idiots that Bernie Madoff “did.”

    The only reason he got got is because he “did” some powerful people. If it was just some poor republican voting schmoes, he would have been visiting the Rainbow House on a regular basis instead of being in the big house..
