Wood , 40, has been in and out of court several times in the past year, facing a list of alleged offences involving up to R1.4-million. He was arrested last year after he allegedly fleeced investors in several cases between January 2011 and July 2012. Wood has two previous convictions for fraud and theft dating back to September 2005 and March 2009. He received suspended sentences in both instances. – Kathryn Kimberley
