    Simple. He actually took the time to respond to a plea for help from a member of the Nigerian Royal Family.

    Do you mean that Prince Nwabda Gunja-Merchant IS royalty and his dad did get imprisoned by the wicked witch of the west?

    One wonders if he (Phil) was walking behind Warren Buffett when he (Warren) dropped his wallet by accident...

    And back to reality we go:

    How Qld tradie ‘made’ his fortune

    Guy seems like a complete nutter. I imagine most people try to keep a low profile getting arrested. Nothing like convincing people you are a billionaire to make national news! Might find it hard to pick up work as a tradie after that!

    The guy's serious - here's another non-dillusional guy with a few $ in his bank account.

    If it works for the Malaysian PM, why shouldn't it work for a bogan tradie?

    The Malaysian Prime Minister is a decent hard working guy.

    The fact that he had $1billion transferred from the country's sovereign wealth fund to his personal swiss bank account is irrelevant. So are his links to the brutal murder of the Mongolian French interpreter (and model) who was interpreting over the contract for France to supply submarines. Not to mention the sacking of the attorney generaly when he wanted to investigate that transfer.

    60 min last night and 4 corners tonight.

    @Terry_w - there's probably a legitimate reason why he has a few $ in his account, maybe he doesn't trust those foreign banks.

    Note that the article says MAY have used an app to fake the bank account.

    Conspiracy theory - journalists now reading propertychat to come up with new leads on stories :D

    I bet he wouldnt have even used an app. MyWealth allows you to manually input assets and their value for the portfolio view. Notional multimillionaire for only a few clicks. Ridiculous this went viral

    Basically mumbled.

    But the reporter used his own phone, got the tradie to log on to his CBA account in the bank website and it showed a negative bank balance, around $43!!

    Billionaire Tradie

    At 1.50m he claims it was $168b 'taken from him'. I think everyone's using ice in this matter (and probably some steroids).

    Cant believe why anyone is giving him any attention

    Let the police investigate if they they have any evidence or have suspicions

    Other then that he is a ice/drug user/dealer who lied about assets by a long mile
