Cape Town - Former Fidentia boss J Arthur Brown deliberately created confusion with solicited investments in a network of illegal pyramid schemes, according to his indictment in the Western Cape High Court.

Brown faces four counts of fraud, two of corruption, two of theft and one of money-laundering.
