Heath Ledger's uncle Hayden seen as dark but no knight

HEATH Ledger's uncle Hayden has been accused of fraud and standover tactics after A Current Affair last night said it had found more than 30 "victims".

Charged with receiving stolen machinery after a raid by WA police last month, Perth businessman Ledger was hit with more allegations of impropriety during the explosive ACA forum.

Former friends, John and Sue Mitchell claimed the late actor's uncle stole $20,000 from the couple in 2002, for which Ledger was given a suspended sentence.
