How’s this great story from the latest Noseweek!

It’s well know that Noseweek and Investec have had a running battle for a few years - now it seems the banks’ mandarins are running a campaign of harassment amongst their senior execs to see who is responsible for the leaks:

Investec has had scores of its Johannesburg staff polygraphed in an attempt to identify the mole/s who passed confidential information to noseweek exposing the R1.5bn debt – and inability to service it – of its VIP client, property developer Zunaid Moti (nose118).

There has been a flurry of urgent meetings at the bank’s headquarters, with individuals hauled in for vigorous interrogation. The problem is that every banking employee at Investec has their own code to access the bank’s internal Radar system – which contains the information relayed by noseweek – and there’s no facility in place to track who logs in for sensitive information on clients such as Moti.

[I'm coming after you]

By 11 August, amidst great secrecy, 38 employees had been persuaded to “voluntarily” take lie-detector tests at Warren Goldblatt’s private eye firm SSG Forensic Consultants, whose premises were made available to the sub-contracted polygraph tester.

The internal probe is concentrated on staff in the bank’s recoveries and property finance departments and noseweek hears there’s a “substantial” reward on offer for information leading to the mole’s identification.
