Yes sorry about the article. I'm not using anything to see it and am not a subscriber, so I don't get why I can see it, if others can't.

Anyway there's nothing in it that is new.

It was the bit about the bank manager that stood out for me.

Maybe he thinks that absolves him of anything to do with Marion's money ?

The other victims we have them going to the bank and withdrawing the money and handing it to him ... so the fact he claims it was Marion just backs up he used his usual tactic of getting his victim to remove the money themselves.

Possibly on the pretense of purchasing property in Bali ... like the other women ... The fact JH ( bank Manager) remembers the Bali connection doesn't help him, and to me that left of field statement from her was gold ... I felt it at the time, and we only had JO with a Bali connection .. now we have more

Personally, I think this is more damming to him, if the paper trial is really gone, then this is the next best thing.

What's with Bali, what's there for RB ??? something ...

@KiwiNZ Perhaps the Indonesian (Bali) connection is more extensive than we have assumed. We know Mr. AKA lured victims there with the premise of investing in property etc. and more than likely used or banked their money for his own personal gain. It is not particularly difficult to get a permanent stay permit (KITAP, see attached file) in Indonesia if you prove to be either a foreign investor (take your pick from Belgian, French, Dutch, Luxembourg, Australian!) or a director of a company (RENOV PUBS). This would mean having a bank account/s in Indonesia, where any ill-gotten gains/cash could be deposited and probably easier to "explain away" in Indonesia than in Australia, which may account (IMO) for Centrelink not finding a money/paper trail. CASH IS KING.

Precisely. Handing large sums of cash to him under the table. In this case probably handing to him whilst sitting in his recently purchased Mitsubishi Magna.

It does make you wonder why Marion would go to Bali when she had just sold up and was looking forward to her European tour and trip on the Orient Express? No mention of Bali on any communications home. If Bali is involved how did Aka spin this yarn?

Maybe it happened like all the others - she suspected something was wrong for whatever reason and followed him back to Australia (which is why she arrived back a few days after him and didn't tell family). He used his charm and sweet talk to assure her everything was ok and persuaded her to withdraw cash for whatever he had told her the plan was (obviously something to do with Bali). Maybe it was even a change of plans - like they couldn't do whatever it was they were planning in Europe for whatever reason so he tempted her with Bali instead?

But I'm sure there is much more to Bali than we know - otherwise why would his daughter have her wedding there? (and please don't say its yet another coincidence).

Maybe they have their dirty money hidden in Bali

The story is about Joni. And how finding the ad changed her life.

Describes where she lives. And all the discoveries she made re Marion.
Was typing about but I was advertiser censored every 3 or so words

Do we really need more publicity for J’s amazing skills? Rolling eyes right now

"his counsel has told him to say nothing" ... but he just can't help himself but to blab some more .. he would be a nightmare client for any lawyer.
Haha so he found another lawyer.. how many has that been now lmao

I agree completely.
And so far we have 3 women including Marion (if JH is correct).

What was it then that would convince Marion to fly all that way home on the pretence of going to Bali???

JO Trip Itinerary: Bali, Amsterdam, and then England.

WHO does he know that is in the travel industry in Bali.....?

That is a perfect reason why he chooses Bali!

NO coincidences in this saga!

Everything is on the table with this pig

I think he might be thinking he has covered his tracks well enough and thought of everything.

The Dawson case gives me a lot of hope.

I wonder how many more victims are out there.
Well he hasnt covered ALL of his tracks because I have found a few!!!!!
Just cant post up because of legals

Things seem to be a hotting up, at least in the press.

Looks like The Australian is on the boil, interview with MS Reid, Interview with thingy (RB), Interview with Joni.

I wonder who will be next...

The thing is WE ALL know that J didn't do all this on her own!

WE know that.

You have even proved that ;)
Yesterdays writeup was appalling in what she said.
It is the public that is being misled that is the unfortunate thing. Hopefully some will find their way to WS one day...

Hopefully one of their adult kids who have grown a conscience now that the world can see what their "'father"' ( loose description) is

@mishy66 I am sure you are as grateful as others on this forum are, for you visiting IK's grave some months ago. In light of IK's daughter’s recent revelations of her conversations with her biological father (AKA), it makes the death of IK at such a young age and the strange circumstances, extremely poignant. RIP, IK. ❤️
