NZ Telescope scam on YouTube

[AnakChan (Sean)]

I was just browsing through YouTube and saw this pop up only from yesterday. It's about Robert McTague who's scammed a bunch of amateur astronomer customers not delivering the goods worth $100k due to this meth addiction :-

Apparently he was even the founder of South Canterbury Astronomers Group :-

What a pity and really sorry to the customers who lost their $$.

What a crook and he's still got a website up and running.

It’s a pity. IMHO the amateur astronomer community is still a niche & doesn’t need such an unnecessary drama like this.
