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

[Estelle]

Koletti was a kept man for years. He's a fantasy producer and if his hairdressing talent is no better than his musical talent, then he's in big trouble. Centrelink here he comes.

AK used to work at Joh Bailey Salon in Bondi Junction. It has a wonderful reputation in Sydney. In order for AK to get a job there, he would have to have been a good hairdresser - even if in early 2020 he was only part-time. Look at this guy pictured on their website. He looks a lot like AK!

If he's any good then I figure he should be able to walk back into the job any time he wants to. Strikes me that he's got too used to not having to really work for a living.

Yes he's probably looking for a rich widow who wants a handbag for social functions. He could also go back to hairdressing on ships soon and offer his renowned head massages again.

Those poor investors. It's taken me a long time to come to sympathy for them, but they really have had the rawest of deals, and sure, they went into it trying to beat the odds, and if you gamble you have to cop the loss when it comes, but this is excruciating , in any one's view.

There they all sit, on the investors money, great address, that fabulous harbour view for Anthony and the dogs, and the 'young child.. '... the convenience of the Edgecliff apartment for the oldies and the bro. A short ferry into Circular Quay, ... all the silliness of Double Bay to strut around in, off to Watson's Bay for an aperitif... the glossy harbour a backdrop to these unearned and undeserved pleasures.

While the investors struggle with the ATO, the Council, the Bank, the local solicitor, the barrister, the time off work to attend court, interviews, interrogations....

Anthony, a sad case. Dragged, not unwillingly, out of Campbelltown, propped up on Dover Heights, only had to be a willing handbag, no impediment to his musical aspirations... all ripped away from underneath them.

And for the investors.. once it's all sold, all totted up, and everyone with a legal claim, the nice young men of the ATO , ( and lawyers come off the cream at the top ) all the debts, all the little argumentative assertions.. everyone of those investors will be lucky to get back 4 cents in the dollar. Really lucky.

4 cents in the dollar, that is an over assumption.

Not even a legal sparrow, but way back a post about the scanty sentences people had dished out to them for embezzlement of sums that put Melissa in the shade.. one was a woman who did 40 million, she served a six year sentence, and is now out and , I believe , working for a finance advisory service..

The maximum one can be sentenced to is 10 years.. ( Fraud, very few people serve their maximum , there are discounts all about the place )

Lots of high profile men have been convicted of crimes more severe than Melissa's and going on for longer, .. women,too. Pauline Hanson was convicted of fraud, embezzlement of funds.. six weeks, I think.

I get what I think is your point, . that in the overall scheme of things, it was not something to kill oneself about, and there are plenty of ex-cons strutting the streets of Sydney who would give a firm nod to that. Bigger criminals than Melissa, by a factor of 10..

So perhaps it was something else...?

She be out in under 10 years!!

Lets not forget, the investors paid tax every year based on these fantastic returns. At least they will recoup that money from the Australian Taxation Office.

And what does that say for her relationship with the ATO, couldn't the same be said ?? I know so many questions and not enought time!

ASIC v Caddick - Online file

 

[JBowie]

The husband of Sydney fraudster Melissa Caddick says no one will ever know whether his wife was murdered as an investigator from the corporate watchdog allegedly removed CCTV from the pair’s home.

'The reason there is no proof of Melissa's disappearance': Missing fraudster's husband makes CCTV claim

That's the second time I've read where he accuses ASIC of removing the CCTV recorder, whereas the media has always attributed that to the AFP.

Frankly, I can't see what ASIC would need a CCTV recorder for, however I can imagine the AFP seizing it, albeit a day too soon as events turned out.

And I love how he refers to the property that he is essentially squatting in as 'his' home.

 

[JBowie]

It seems that AK is so naive that he needed this to be pointed out to him (BBM):

Court documents reveal that Mr Hayter replied to Mr Koletti saying: “As you are aware, there are pressing reasons as to why the property needs to be sold as soon as possible including the fact that there is a mortgage over the property in favour of National Australia Bank amounting to approximately $4 million and to which neither yourself nor any other party are actually making payments. Such mortgage is in default”.

In ordinary circumstances, NAB would have booted him out well before this.

AK complains that he is being ridiculed in public to the detriment of his chances of getting work. Clearly, the guy is too naive to realize that his own actions and statements are generating that ridicule.

What date has AK been given to vacate the property? I thought the media stated one but can't find it now.

Found it. "Justice Markovic ruled that if he again failed to “articulate” his interest in the Dover Heights house, this time by March 17, then the receivers could seek “vacant possession and delivery of the ... property for sale”."

That was yesterday so he should have moved out by now.

Ms Caddick’s parents and older brother have lodged objections to the sale of an apartment in Edgecliff which they thought they had contributed to, but instead Ms Caddick had spent their money funding her lavish lifestyle.

The matter will return to court on May 4.

Are they all using delay tactics? Surely they can just give them a date to vacate and that's it.

Yes delay...delay...delay!
The family members get copies of the documents that are going to be lodged.....do the investors get the same curtesy....absolutely not!
Again...we hear how old MC’s parents are and their ill health....but nothing is said about the age and health issues of the investors who have lost so much....nothing is said about the impact on their lives and their wellbeing.
This has now been going on for 16 months and the family are still living in the properties with the mortgages, council rates, water and strata (for Edgecliffe) not being paid....and using every delay tactic...all the while the investors see their possible returns dwindle.

Excerpt from today’s SMH:- seems the custody issue is NOT clear


“As soon as his wife “is officially declared dead” he would become the guardian “as per Melissa’s request in her last will,” Mr Koletti wrote in an email dated February 3, 2022, which he sent to Michael Hayter, the solicitor representing the court-appointed receivers of his wife’s assets.

However, court documents show this is disputed by the boy’s father Anthony Caddick, who wrote to Mr Hayter on January 14 stating that while Mr Koletti was the boy’s stepfather he had no other legal rights and he doubted “Mr Koletti has any idea what he’s doing”.

“I am his biological father and court endorsed guardian for health, schooling and anything else,” wrote Mr Caddick in his email.

According to court documents, Mr Caddick said he was making no claim to any funds on his son’s behalf. “Those funds should be returned to the defrauded investors.”

 

[JBowie]

he doubted “Mr Koletti has any idea what he’s doing”.

In my mind, there's no doubt about that! Every time he opens his mouth he proves it.

Court documents tendered since then indicate Mr Caddick is paying his son’s private school fees.

[Mr Murphy]

I was astonished to see in the Hayter affidavit documents that AK spend $33,960 and $26,500 on engagement and wedding rings for Melissa. I was also curious about the $10,000 skull jewellery gifted to AK by the jeweller... No doubt he will be claiming he deserves to keep these and he spent his own hard earned money on them.... or the skull was gifted because he was such a great customer???

From media reports, it was Caddick who was the great customer. Seems to me that she almost lived in that shop.

I believe that the onus on AK is to prove that the nominated items were in fact gifts. I'd reckon that the jeweler ought to be able to say yes or no to that quite quickly.

Mr Koletti said he had endured “a lot of stress and pain” following his wife’s death and had lost “everything” he worked for during his 26-year career.
“Please take into account I don’t have the means to sue Michael Hayter or ASIC for the pain they have caused my family and I,” he said.

I guess AK doesn't know that there are many lawyers who will represent a lawsuit and are happy to be paid 1/3 of whatever damages they achieve in the suit.
But of course there must be good and valid reason for the lawsuit to be successful. For a lawyer to take it on in the first place.
