Found Deceased Australia - Melissa Caddick, 49, Sydney, NSW, 12 Nov 2020 #8

[sapphire blue]

I was wondering whether someone could a few points about this case.
Firslty, can anyone recall the name of the Jewellery company Melissa worked for after she worked for WISE Financial

I don’t recall her working for a jewellery company, the jeweller she frequently purchased jewellery from was stefano Canturi.

Melissa Caddick podcast reveals forged cheques, fake degrees and Tipp-ex to double her fees

In 2002 (aged 31) she borrowed $750,000 to buy a 25% stake in Wise Financial Services.

I really have to wonder what was used as collateral for a loan of that size.

Edit: I guess maybe the shares themselves, with the loan financed by ING itself? But it's a big loan for a 31 year old with, presumably, no other significant assets.

Yes I realise she was in over heels in love with Stefano's jewellery even trying to out bid him on a house. No, she actually did work for a jewellers I remember reading about it over a year ago? I will keep digging, thanks.

1. I have no recollection of MC working for a jewellery company.

2. Cabins: Search camping and accommodation | NSW National Parks

Highlights of Bournda National Park: Bournda National Park | NSW National Parks

School excursions Search education services | NSW National Parks

There are also these cabins at Tathra Beach which is nearby. Tathra Beachside - Aircamp

3. UK: MC flew into and out of the UK because MC's first husband secured a position there as a solicitor.

LA: MC flew into and out of LA on her way to Aspen to ski.

NYC: MC flew into and out of NYC as she treated AK to a holiday there before they married. He had had been working as a hairdresser on a cruise line where they initially met IMO.

Thanks Estelle for that. That explains UK, USA, but what about Japan, Singapore (maybe a visist to her brother) and Korea?
I have read on this site or a FB site, a long long time ago that she had worked for a jeweller? I will follow this up, thanks for that information.

Hmmm ... If she did work for a jeweler then I'd expect the Kate McClymont Liar, Liar series to have mentioned it by now.

 

[JBowie]

On the aspect of the ability to keep telling porkies for years, there's by chance an interesting article in today's Australian titled "Science proves it: the more we lie, the easier it gets."

Snippet: This neural readjustment explains why seasoned liars can lie again and again literally without breaking into a sweat. “Here we go again,” sighs the amygdala, without bothering to kick up much of a fuss.

As with all articles in The Australian it is probably pay-walled, however, as it originated in The Times, it may be readable via another route.

Thank you

I could put this on at least 3 threads I am following , It sounds interesting and awfully familiar

I was wondering whether someone could a few points about this case.
Firslty, can anyone recall the name of the Jewellery company Melissa worked for after she worked for WISE Financial , I know it was discussed a long time ago. I am not sure whether she worked here in Australia, the UK or else where?
Secondly, who owns and manages the cabins at Bournda Beach, rented through the NSW Government Parks ? or owned? I thought perhaps she had stayed there as a young girl with family or through a school excursion, but I am unsure?
Thirdly, why in your opinion did she fly in and out of the UK, LA, and New York? Thanks

I can only assist with a mud map to give the idea of Bournda being an isolated beach ?.
Also the cottage mentioned and the land in white including across Sapphire Coast Drive was owned privately by a family i believe , zooming you see Mandeni family cabins and Woodbine cabins area . (i lived there for 12 months some years ago ) These are all in the Southern end of Bournda , the other parts in green are Parks etc managed and have camp grounds etc .

The private areas I speak of may not still be with the same ownership but they have participated in educational endeavors and other ventures . This area bit further south is then connected to a retirement built up holiday area with woolworths and probably a Bunnings by now :0
Its hardly the deserted beach it was made out to be , so finding out where Melissa might have holidayed there would be impossible IMO

To the north is less built up with lakes and lagoons but is called Wallagoot .

Anyway I hope you find what you are looking for

I’d be interested to read that, because I can’t find any mention of her ever working for a jewellers.

Still reading the latest court statement filed by Edward Grimley, via lawyer.

It seems the only agreement for the G's to live in Edgecliff "for life", was contained in some emails between them and their daughter. There is no legal caveat on the property, for example MOO

But compared to the "official Comsec statements" that the others got from Melissa, at least they got some use out of their investment.

Anyway they are arguing that they had a 'contract' with Melissa as they had transferred the 37% of 'equity' to her according to the 'agreement'. They propose the Receivers should honour that contract and they will pay for the outgoings and their share of interest, but no mention of buying out the remaining ~63% equity... Or, who is going to pay off the rest of the principal and interest to NAB, while they are still alive and living in Edgecliff.

If I understand the last section in the statement, there is also a threat to seek damages if the Receivers on behalf of Melissa resile from their agreement with the G's.

My guess is they are counting on the situation of the other investors having not hired an expensive lawyer.

I think we need a link for Japan and Korea but she went to Singapore to visit her brother.

I wonder if MC camped there?

I wonder if MC camped there?

I thought as much, perhaps a family holiday or a school excersion ? I must admit the jewellery link is baffling me. Might have to go undercover for this one?

Melissa Caddick's husband demands pay out from fraudster's estate

AK has lodged claims to certain assets in the estate. Why these items I wonder. Or is it that the items are worth roughly the assets he brought into the marriage?

Edit: new concise statement added to court documents ASIC v Caddick - Online file

 

[they'll get you]

in for a penny, in for a pound

 

[Trooper]

in for a penny, in for a pound

Oh my goodness, Anthony has gone for broke in this outrageous claim...

Must be lots of bad blood between him and mum and dad and bro, because he has claimed their apartment at Edgecliff as well as the Dover Heights home... that must have put the cat among the pigeons..

This little list of Anthony's is interesting in what it actually leaves out... nothing about the $100,000.00 necklace still sitting around at Canturi Jewelers waiting for an appropriate neck... no mention of quite a few other paintings Melissa is presumed to have, no claim on any horses, or stables, or holiday homes, or apartments in Aspen, everyone must agree now that was rented and not owned...big disappointment, I 'd expect.

What are Ant's chances???.... not exactly zero, but not anywhere near what he expects.........

 

[Trooper]

Mr Koletti is seeking a cut from the sale of the following:

• A five-bedroom house in Dover Heights – estimated worth: $15-$17 million.
• A three-bedroom apartment in Edgecliff – estimated worth: $4 million.
• Various luxury cars — $360,000 (already sold)
• Various shares — $7 million

Mr Koletti is seeking full ownership of the following:

• Five paintings by Australian artist John Olsen
• Ms Caddick's Gucci wedding dress
• An 18 carat white gold cross from Canturi - valued at $8,360.

 

[Trooper]

• 18 carat white gold Onxy cufflinks — valued at $5,600.
• An 18 carat white gold and sapphire ring — valued at $10,450.
• An 18 carat white gold skull pendant — $6,300.
• A diamond ring set by Canturi — $33,960.
• Mr Koletti's wedding band — $26,500.

I mused earlier that perhaps AK should maybe file a claim as being a victim of MC's crimes.

He might have more luck doing that.
