Since 2010, offences related to fraud in New South Wales have been consolidated under the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW). There is one main fraud offence under section 192E of the Act that makes it a criminal offence for anyone to dishonestly:

• Acquire property which belongs to someone else;
• Obtain some kind of advantage financially; or
• Cause someone else any kind of financial disadvantage;

by deceiving anyone else.

=======================================================

I wonder if BIG ever would have taken off (or even existed as a listed entity), via investors bidding it up, if everything was outlined, including that criminal record. Looks to me like investors might have been deceived, have lost a lot of wealth, some certain parties have benefited significantly from this arrangement. Is the crim record issue material in itself? It seems to be a piece of the jigsaw.

I think disclosure of this would have had the regulators and media climbing all over this business right from the start, hence it was deliberately not disclosed.

All IMO
