The Brisbane-based investment scheme promoter who allegedly fooled Australian Federal Police officers into investing with him will stand trial in the Brisbane District Court in October. Geoffrey Robert Dexter, 53, of Warner in Brisbane's far northern suburbs, is facing 64 charges brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
