It can be revealed that Scott, who was appointed to his position in 2010, was once the owner and director of a private company, Geosine, according to documents lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Geosine was under Scott’s control until January 2013, at which point the shares in the company were transferred to a woman called Kimberley Yin.
Less than two months later in March 2013, Geosine was announced as a new substantial holder in G8 with just over 20 million shares that gave it control of 7.4 per cent of the company.
Hutson confirmed to the AFR Weekend that Geosine still owns 20 million shares.
Yin lives at the same Gold Coast address as Scott. According to property records, Yin owns the $3 million Sanctuary Cove house, set on the waterfront in a gated community. The address matches that which Scott lists in ASIC documents as his residential address.
When asked about the nature of Yin and Scott’s relationship, Hutson said: “They know each other, I’m aware of that. I don’t know that it extends any further than that."
