A convicted fraudster who stole $27 million from Flinders University using two passwords and an EFTPOS machine is now an informal financial advisor to an RSL club. Largs Bay RSL will next week hold a special general meeting to deal with internal disquiet caused by the involvement of Christopher Wayne Fuss in its affairs. Club president Peter Cates stood by Fuss, saying there was neither cause for concern nor anything to hide. “This guy has done his time, he has paid his penance, he’s back in the industry, he’s advising our treasurer, he doesn’t touch our funds, he has no access to them at all,” Mr Cates said. “If he had access to our funds, petty cash and actual day-to-day takings, or had the ability to make transfers without me co-signing, maybe I would be worried. “But he has no access to it. He just shows our treasurer how to use the internal workings of our new cash flow management system.” Fuss, 54, was jailed in 2011 for at least 5½ years for defrauding $27.4 million from Flinders while working as its cashier.
