After dragging KPMG to court, claiming almost R864 million plus interest in damages, Anoosh Rooplal, the liquidator of the VBS Mutual Bank, has been sworn to silence and agreed to a confidential settlement with the disgraced audit firm. Rooplal and the South African arm of KPMG said on Monday a confidential out-of-court settlement had been reached with the liquidators of VBS, which collapsed in 2018 under the weight of massive looting allegedly perpetrated by its own directors.
