Silverbird Founder Ben Murray-Bruce Reveals $3.5M Fraud by South African Partner
Silverbird Group founder Ben Murray-Bruce has recounted how a South African partner defrauded him of $3.5 million meant for a cinema complex in Kenya.
Speaking at the Peace Anyiam-Osigwe Digital Content Regulation Conference in Lagos, Murray-Bruce explained that after transferring the funds, the partner registered the business in his own name.
“I transferred the money, and my South African partner registered it in his name. That was how I lost that huge investment,” he said.
He also revealed ongoing legal battles involving his Los Angeles studio and announced plans to produce a movie addressing societal issues.
Murray-Bruce paid tribute to late filmmaker Peace Anyiam-Osigwe, recalling her early contributions to the entertainment industry and their long friendship.
