I think franchise-Ponzis are a dime a dozen in Australia - just like shoddy apartment blocks - the gumment don't care because it cost to care & they have more/'better' things to do then care.
And when they do care - the damage is done & it would take ten times as much money to rectify (if at all possible)
This p3ri p3ri franchise likes to rope in Injuns... just like XXX-tex
