I counted 544 alleged breaches to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 section 36.According to the Concise Statement filed by AUSTRAC, the maximum civil penalty for each contravention is $22.2 million.

It would be bearish to assume that the maximum civil penalty will be applied ubiquitously or that even all contraventions will be found to be fact (i.e. not allegations).Likewise, it would be bullish to think that penalties will be applied minimally and that only few contraventions will be found to be fact.

I suppose Blackstone is thinking that the end result will amount to a slap on the wrist, or at least will be a figure that represents a small price to pay for the long-term holder.

If so, amounts to 544 x $22.2m = $1.2 trillion!!!!!!!!
