Financial adviser under SFO spotlight hiding in plain sight

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

Where in the world is Barry Kloogh?

That's the question out-of-pocket investors have been asking since investigators raided the financial adviser's business in May.

They have since discovered that two of his companies – Financial Planning Ltd and Impact Enterprises Ltd – have been liquidated, owing more than $12.5 million.

The investigation – led by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) – has so far raised more questions than answers for anxious investors who fear they have lost everything in an apparent Ponzi scheme.

Stuff went looking for clues with the aim of asking what happened to their money. Stuff found him hiding in plain sight on Tuesday – in a modest rental home in Dunedin, with two luxury cars parked outside.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
