Deconstructing Banners Broker scheme one brick at a time

THE Royal Canadian Mounted Police have dug deep into the Banners Broker to find just how it managed to get so many people to buy into what they thought was a genuine advertising investment website, making them one more small layer in a huge pyramid scheme.
After a detailed investigation of the website and its operators, constable Katie Judd built up a detailed picture of how the scheme worked, how so many people stayed with it for so long and the lengths to which its operators went to hide the mounting profits.
