Six bints convicted of £20 million Pyramid scam
Six women have been convicted of operating a "pyramid" scheme in which thousands of investors lost money.
The "Give and Take" scheme operated in south-west England and south Wales five years ago, Bristol Crown Court heard.
All six were from the Bristol area and their scheme saw more than £20m invested by about 10,000 members of the public, often vulnerable women.
It can now be reported three other women had already received suspended sentences for promoting the scheme.
'Lifelong financial hardship'
The group encouraged people to "beg, borrow or steal" £3,000 to put into the scheme between May 2008 and April 2009.
