A Cape Town debt collector turned security specialist testified that he collected between R400 000 and R600 000 in sales of illegal steroids for so-called steroid king Brian Weinstein every month before Weinstein was murdered.
Mr X told the Western Cape High Court that he first met Weinstein at the “steroid king’s” Bliss Boutique Hotel when he was looking for extra work.
