I don't normally applaud the jailing of felons but the four and a half year sentence handed down in the Brisbane Supreme Court by Judge James Douglas to convicted international conman Peter Foster is a well-deserved penalty for this notorious Gold Coast fraudster.This 45 year old shark has been peddling his fraudulent practices for over two decades with fake slimming pills, bank fraud, impersonation, passport tampering, laundering money, false misrepresentation and intimidating witnesses - just to name a few of his more-conniving efforts in duping the public from Australia to the UK, Fiji and Vanuatu and a stack of countries in between.
He conned his way into the life and pants of Samantha Fox and he once duped the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie.
Peter "Conman" Foster doesn't care who he defrauds, who he hurts or who he rips off - as long as there is a fast buck in it for him.
Of course, this baby-faced conman always claims to have been wrongly accused or completely misunderstood or simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and it was really someone else's fault.
When he gets out of the lonely life of a Queensland state penitentiary in 2010, this habitual conman will undoubtedly go back to the only life he has known over the past 20 years - one of conniving, thieving, hurtful deception of thousands of innocent people.
