“Never above $50 or $100” unsaid is “I know what would trigger an investigation.”

Setting up a family trust would cost a couple of hundred plus $200 stamp duty on the deed. What a waste of money if he doesn’t use it. Same with the cost of all the name changes and drivers licences and security boxes/packets. For someone on a pension he sure likes wasting money!

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Three pensions

I'm getting a headache

I feel like my brain is on a tilt-a-whirl.

So he says he got an inheritance but DdH said he didn’t get one, only the children got shares, which they never received

Casselden is getting to the millions!

" I get money every time I go overseas from my family because of my inheritance"

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Not a lot of respect for "she" "her"

 

[Passingthru]

Wonder if he embezzled all the money from the family furniture business to fund the trust.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Shares, large income.

 

[Passingthru]

Shares, large income.

Large untraceable amounts of cash.

Did he just say he was caught once?

 

[nkomp18]

Let's sum up,
He was getting 2 pensions + 1 carer pension for his wife (3 in total)
He was getting inheritance money every time he travelled home (by his mother)
He was getting money from sales of stocks/shares (he mentions 20k)
He was selling coins at Paris auctions
He got 80k by selling a house in Tasmania

Every time he travelled overseas, his fam gave him money.
He would carry the cash with him into Aus, sometimes to the tune of au$20k.
Casselden asked why not transfer it electronically, it safer than lugging it around?
RB says he did not want to pay the conversion and admin fees

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I'm thinking that they'll take a break for morning tea soon.

Or not

 

[mishy66]

I have a gut instinct that he is going to just blow this freight train up and say "whatever you have on me I did it, including my involvement in MB case". Casselden is wearing him down very fast today. He knows his time is up and there is no coming back from this.

I'm thinking that they'll take a break for morning tea soon.

Or not

Lot’s of tea in the courtroom right now.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Yes. I took it to mean he was robbed.

Did he just say he was caught once?

 

[Passingthru]

Casselden’s body language is epic right now.

I want to go to bed but I just get this feeling that Mr Casselden might drop a bomb any moment now
