Anita Cranston and Craig Mudgway

Campbell Live has been investigating Auckland couple Anita Cranston and Craig Mudgway. They lured over 150 people into paying for luxury Fijian holidays that never happened.

Two weeks ago we caught up with the couple at a hotel in Rotorua. They had been arrested and had just appeared in court.

Today there was another court appearance, and this time Campbell Live’s cameras were allowed in.

Watch the video.

@Rebel. Craig unfortunately seems very needy of attention, flashing money gave him that attention, to the detriment of good people. I was at the Mudgway/Stewart wedding, never before have I been in a room full of so much plastic surgery & insecurity, it was like a grown up version of "Toddlers & Tiaras." Hopefully the legal system can expose these people enough to warn the Mudgway offspring that an honest life of hard work has a much happier outcome.

Craig was like this at school He was not well liked and often beaten
Learnt his parenting skills from his parents who in all the time I spent at his house I only met twice and I used to stay over
As for Anita she appears to be just another gold digger out to get what she can

@Nicola, the man was a scammer when you married him, perhaps you thought Mudgway was your golden goose. It seems everyone hanging off Mudgways shirt tails, supporting their own excessive life styles are finally getting their comeuppance as well. Shame innocent people have been snared in the crossfire, but this is how these people are finally exposed, not by Mudgways groupies who have changed the role playing to "innocent victim."

Im really hoping that Campbell live dig a little deeper into Craig's pass, back as far as 1997-1998. I know they will find a bunch of Tauranga people who will be very happy to see this man go to jail. I also know of a barrister from Auckland who will also be very interested, as the sums of money some of these people lost to this man are considerable larger. As for me, if they lock him up and throw away the key.... that will bring a smile that has been waiting for near on 13year. THANK YOU CAMPBELL LIVE.
