AK disappeared her? Nah, that would take too much energy.
... besides, she'd scold him severely for even trying.
Yet more fraud:
Missing con artist Melissa Caddick used funds she received from victims of her Ponzi scheme in a brazen attempt to perpetrate another fraud.
On Christmas Eve, 2015, Len Wallis, who runs a high-end audio visual store, received a furious call from Melissa Caddick complaining that her family’s newly installed sound system wasn’t working,
Caddick refused to pay the last $12,000 of Wallis’s $122,000 bill.
. . .
Caddick’s claim was denied after the investigator concluded that “it was unfortunately Anthony Koletti’s direct actions in intervening with the equipment that caused the system to fail in its entirety on 24 December 2015.”

Mr Koletti’s lawyer Judy Swan said Mr Koletti’s personal property, which was removed from the mansion, was not as valuable or as of much concern to him as the “horrible” attention he had been receiving as a result of media coverage of the court case.
You don't want media attention? Easy: don't make insane -- or any -- comments about the case to the media.

Anthony Koletti, the husband of Sydney fraudster Melissa Caddick, has dropped his claim on her millions of dollars' worth of her possessions.
Koletti had filed a claim in April for $30 million worth of his wife's proceeds of crime which included jewellery such as cufflinks and wedding bands, a Gucci wedding dress, the proceeds of the sale of their luxury cars, $7 million in shares and John Olsen paintings.
Yesterday, his solicitor told a brief hearing at the Federal Court that Koletti wished to drop the proceedings so he could get on with his life

His solicitor also submitted a claim that Koletti should not face costs over the legal proceedings.
It is not clear whether Koletti is also abandoning his claim on their Dover Heights home, which he was evicted from last month.

It seems that AK may be maturing at last.
IMO, it's more lillely he was told that his chances of getting anything were Buckley's or none, and that his legal bill will be significant.
Lawyer backed out unless paid up-front. Also IMO.
Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty has been chosen to sell the property.

And while the job of selling the Caddick house will already have plenty of unpaid publicity, not all agents wanted the job of selling it.
For starters, receivership sales often require the agent to sacrifice a portion of their fee.
The property comes with already high price expectations after Koletti, a hairdresser and sometime DJ, told the court the house was valued between $15 million and $17 million.
It remains unknown what guide Sotheby’s will be offering buyers, but agents not appointed to the listing have offered more subdued assessments, ranging from $10 million to $12 million, with any scope to start the campaign above that level hampered in recent months by the market downturn.

Sotheby’s appointed to sell Melissa Caddick’s Dover Heights home
Eastern suburbs real estate was already among the most highly contested in the country, but the competition reached fever pitch for the home of missing fraudster Melissa Caddick.
In that part of Sydney you pay for the street name and the view. Nothing left to build with.

The G's had applied for mediation with the receiver and the bank last month, according to Fed Court files.

Can't find any more info on the current status of that action.

"This application will be heard by the Federal Court of Australia at Law Courts Building, 184 Phillip Street, Queens Square, Sydney NSW 2000 at 9.30 am on 15 June 2022."
Would have expected to see something in the MSM about it. I wonder if it went ahead on the 15th or was maybe rescheduled?
Missing conwoman Melissa Caddick’s victims vie with her parents for the money
Investors fleeced of millions by missing fraudster Melissa Caddick fear her parents will get preferential treatment with sale of Edgecliff penthouse imminent.Her parents, Ted Grimley, 87 and his wife Barbara have been given formal notice that the home they thought Caddick had bought for them is going to be sold along with Caddick’s multimillion-dollar Dover Heights mansion.
The 23 trusting investors who lost $23 million have had their lawyer write to the Federal Court in a letter handed up on Monday to protect their position, but Justice Brigitte Markovic stressed that their letter was not in evidence.
The court has heard both properties are heavily mortgaged, with default interest added to what is owed, and there are taxes to be paid which could include capital gains tax, land tax and goods and services tax. There are also the costs of the sales and marketing campaign.
Justice Markovic said the sale should “proceed post haste”.
