Kate McClymont's April 24 cover story 'Vanishing Act' looks at the Sydney wealth advisor who managed to rip off family and friends to the tune of $30 million, and how the fraudulent financial scheme she used to do it ultimately brought her unstuck. In conversation with Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland, McClymont examines the seeds of Melissa Caddick’s undoing, the mechanics of a classic Ponzi scheme, the early warning signs that Caddick was fluid with the truth - and money - and the wreckage left behind.
