Stephen Griffin is a former certified accountant who became an angel investor and fund manager into community sports organisations and companies. His journey took him into some of the shady underbelly of sports organisations that are outwardly providing positive community physical activity experiences but are actually acting corruptly and dealing in illegal immigration, people trafficking and inhumane working conditions.
It is a shocking story that serves as a stark reminder of what can happen when corporate greed meets community sport and physical activity.
