This link provides a great deal more info on this case. Sounds like a great collaborative effort to bring down this scammer.

Better late (a million bucks late) than never, I guess, but as an Aussie I'm stunned by how many well-informed vics get pulled into th..., aaah, forget it... Sad

Cool it, fellow Aussies. It will probably turn out to be Brian Burke with a deep suntan.
There are that many scandals on the Aussie scene at the moment that a scam of $1M is chicken feed. Didya see this clip from yesterday's SMH?

INCOMPETENCE is one thing, corruption another. There is always the hope, no matter how forlorn, that even the most incompetent government might improve. A corrupt government, however, does not deserve the chance. The disgrace of corruption can't be erased; the government must go. The darkening stain spreading from the Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry into Wollongong City Council threatens to taint indelibly the Labor Government of NSW. And it has only itself to blame. This is a crisis of Labor's own making, a consequence of a Labor Government too tolerant of the misplaced loyalties of mateship, and too ready to obligate itself to those willing to fill Labor Party coffers

I can already see the lawyers licking their lips.

Excellent. Gold star to the Aus police.

Wonder what the sentence will be? Couple of hundred years ago, he'd have been transported to a penal colony........ Rolling Eyes

@ Imike !

Australia was(is) the predominant penal colony. I personally feel the imprint of chains in my genes, inherited from my forbears. Only illegal immigrants get to go to Christmas Island and Nauru.
The crims either flee to Spain or wherever with the loot, or stay here and go into politics.
