    Blowing the last of his life's saving/work into a property scam involving his wonderful and loyal father n law wouldn't have helped either.
    Aweful family who are in a mess because of their greed and Jonahs naivety.

      Jonah was a legend and I'll always be in awe of what he did on the rugby field and how he fought his terrible illness. But I take a very dim view of anyone who has earned that amount of money, but the begging bowl still needs to be passed around to look after his kids.

      Who cares if the wife doesn't have access to the trust. If she can afford a new Porsche, then why should people contribute to the education of her kids?

        Every time I see an article about that scungy gold digger with her hand out, it makes me angry. But it isn't the kiddies fault they have a shit mother. I just hope the trust is watertight and any payments go straight to a school and nowhere near her or her scumbag father's pockets.

          I'm glad I donated to the trust so that the kids aren't relying on her

            Isn't it a bit farked up that you donated to the trust of children who had a dad who made millions?

              If it wasnt water tight before I'm sure it is now after the Porsche revelation.
              Yep not the kids fault dad had poor health and mom thinks shes the missing Kardashian sister.

                @Rancid-Schnitzel seems to be no shame in asking for money these days, I have seen crowd funding/givealittle things pop up on Facebook (on random 'suggested' page) for all sorts, one was a person whose dog got hit by a car and they have to pay $3000 or so Vet bills rather than have to put it down, which was better than one I saw (which I wasnt sure if serious) for some guy that needed a new car...he didnt have much donated.

                  People are shameless the world over and it's not confined to bogans either. I got taken to a charity dinner the other year. Table of ten people for £750+ VAT. Donations, raffles, auctions etc to raise funds for a child with a debilitating disease - can't remember which one. The costs of providing care for this kid, special education and what have you would run into the hundreds of thousands of £s over the years. A noble cause you might think. Well yes except the family were one of the richest in the area and could quite easily have paid for the care twenty times over and still had enough for their yacht and ski chalet.

                  They were just exchanging their money for everybody else's. Canny work or just shameless miserliness?

                    A part of me certainly thinks that Ms. Lomu deserves the right of reply before all 'n sundry come down very hard on her.

                    Having said that, it certainly looks bad. And all the money given to the Jonah Lomu kids fund, should really be spread around all needy kids. Having a famous Daddy, shouldn't immediately give you the right of a more beneficial life than having a scumbag for a Daddy.

                    Fuck all kids in this world have a trust fund of any note. I was given $500 by my parents on my 21st, and that was about it for me. So people who gave money to that, were fucking idiots to start off with. Between grandpops wheeler dealing & undoubtedly some outstanding royalties for guest speaking etc, there was more than adequate dosh around to give those boys the start in life that they needed.

                    In the meantime, as all this was kicking off, thousands of kids across NZ were going hungry, living in substandard conditions, and failing to get the medical attention required for even the most basic conditions.

                    The whole thing was BS, right from the start. The fact she drives a Porsche should surprise nobody.

                      Or a really really good daddy who isn't multi-millionaire but works super damn hard in a physical labouring job 6 days a week 8-4 but is on a minimum wage and can't afford a Porsche.

                        Couldn't find the old RIP Jonah thread on the new forum.....but this is a shocker

                        http://m.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11759382

                        Nadene Lomu is driving a $75,000 Porsche - at the same time the trust set up in her husband Jonah's memory was in London trying to raise money to help the couple's sons.

                        There's no way anyone can put a good spin on this. However I don't believe she can be this simple/naive/greedy/irresponsible. Surely not.

                        She's had massive negative publicity and I can't think she's oblivious to this. There's a stability issue here I am sure. Depression, anxiety, something. For gods sake where are Jonah's friends and supporters to help this woman ?

                              Scam? Why bother with property?

                              If Jonah was still worth a bit, surely they could have picked up a couple of investment properties in Auckland and lived off the rental income?

                                  Yep nothing wrong there, I mean it's normal right for your in laws to sell a property with a heavily marked up price? To make $700k off you
                                  Because that's what family does.

                                      Yep nothing wrong there, I mean it's normal right for your in laws to sell a property with a heavily marked up price? To make $700k off you
                                      Because that's what family does.

                                      Forget in laws. Some athletes are misfortunate enoguh to have the scam artists be their own parents.

                                        The Bible says, "Don't pass judgment on other people, or you might get judged yourself."

                                        No, hang on, that was in Monty Python's Life of Brian.

                                        As you were.
