Sorry - have skipped most of this thread due to lack of time to read it, but just wanted to comment on the above abn registration.
Imagine this being set up by one of the people involved in the fraud. They use Karlie's name, and the business name it is registered under could refer to KP (Karlie Pearce) and the Exploration Drilling could refer to their defrauding of her bank account. I wonder if they set this up at the beginning of 2011 so that they could continue to accept funds due to Karlie Stephenson, but in a business account in the name of KP Exploration Drilling? The bank would accept the funds in the individual name, but whoever set up the business account would be able to access them?
It could stand for Karlie Pearce (which is funny, seeing they registered as Karlie Jade Stevenson) or Khandalyce Pearce.
Yonks ago I used to to Accounts Payable and Receivable for a multi-business entity - contractors galore - KP could very well be the initials of one of the fraudsters.
You're given an invoice from the contractor - with an ABN you don't think twice about and you pay the account you're given.
