Well hearing that her parents think they deserve 95% of their money back but not anyone else gives us a good idea about why Melissa was so selfish and didn't give a stuff about anyone else!
I doubt she’s dead .. who has to gain the most from her death ? The answer is Melissa caddick ! Or if she had some kind of death insurance maybe 🤔 her husband ?
They know more but I think the husband was really hurt. And the son. Her son has got to be devastated. Anthony is a good man to continue raising the boy and giving his all to see that the boy receives a good education and grow up well. Of course the brother is in shock. I hope those 3 men stick close together and get through it. I believe Melissa is alive. She will never show her face again. Just hope she doesn’t manipulate things from whatever she is.
My thought's, seems the investigation needs to microscopically examine her last year's movements and contacts.....She's cagey and strategic in her need to be a survivor and she will pop back up on the radar, when she needs more cash....IMHO....
I wouldn't be surprised if she was still Alive, living a nice life somewhere with an Artificial Foot and maybe a Brand New Face. What makes me say that, she's a Con Woman and only One foot was ever found. 🤔
She was scum, how many lives has she destroyed. The fact she had a $10M mansion, Hope everyone gets their money back. Anthony Koletti and her brother Adam Grimley are as guilty as her, they should be in jail.
@@user-allanH Yeah my Auntry had a husabnd for 25 years he was taking money from the company he had worked at and sending it overseas to some lady in Canada. Apparently it was a huge amount. Just when the company had started to investigate into where their money was going he fled the country and that morning when the cops knocked on my Aunties door and was asking her where he was she didn't know she thought he had gone on a work trip at the last second like he did most of the time. I remember her calling my mum and my mum going to her house she was in tears. She had no idea this whole time what he had been doing. they had a house together, everything was in both their names. The cops got him he had fled to canada where he had married another women and had a child with and apparently he had knocked her up before he came home and that was why he was sending money over to her. They found him 2 years later and brought him back to Australia now hes in Jail and will be for a very long time.
The parents should also get only 40-45% back of the money they paid, just like the rest of the investors. It's very sad for them because it was their own daughter who ripped them off, but they may have benefited from her scam in other ways while it was still going on.
The one thing is her villa has increased in value since she bought it. So if the prosecutors get a good deal for it that will make up for some of the money that's just irreplacable.
Yes…parents could add up gifts, vacations, dinners etc. and deduct that from their 1 m …I bet most of the other victims did not get as much. AND parents may be hiding assets. Also…the fire sale of the property is unfortunate…lawyers want the money instead of going to a realtor?
@@jeanlaubenthal698 -- Hopefully the court will make sure that forensic accountants are involved, tracking purchases made by the daughter on behalf of the parents while she was running the scam. I think it's reasonable to deduct any of that from whatever amount they would get from the sale of the home.
Her parents should relinquish the house to the creditors who should then sell the house and put it into the pool of money. Then her parents if they have the receipts should come forward like everyone else to claim money and it should be split evenly. That is the process, that smug lawyer is probably the parents lawyer.
@@shizzynwa I totally agree with you. How dare they assume they deserve more than the other investors. I guess cuz they're family. But, being family, you'd think they'd feel responsible. They created this greedy beast
Yeah me to a conwomen who conned even her own family is dead just like that? even if the husband knew what she was doing you don't think she would be hiding a lot from him as well???? i mean what about if she took money out of her bank accounts each week and had it stashed ready to do a runner incase something catcher up to her? Who knows but she was smart enough to bloody con people in the first place she could con her own death and people wouldn't know about it.
They're entitled to the same payout as other victims, IF they have written proof of having given her money, i suppose. Unless it appears it was a gift.
Melissa's entitlement and self-centeredness are definitely the apples that haven't fallen far from the tree. Shame of her parents. Their years of living in the penthouse ought to be amortized against their financial contributions.
The auditors should definitely be sued as well, either they didn't do a job they were paid for or they were in on it, either way they should pay the consequences of their actions or lack thereof
Legally they are fine, their job is to liquidate assets not get top dollar for them, its no different than a bank foreclosure.. unless you think banks all need suing too..
@@74KU I think they are referring to the auditors who (I assume) were either hired or required to oversee her books while she was actively "investing".
@@nutbuster66684 No doubt, but probably your own mistake is in "assuming" that anybody posting on UA-cam comments would have the nouse to understand the differences between "liquidators" after the fact and "auditors" before the fact. 😉
However, is it part of their job to verify if receipts and other documents presented to them are genuine or forged? Forging documents was clearly one of her skills.
@@michelleobrien6996 Yes it is definitely part of the auditors job to verify that the documents are legitimate. I'd be interested to know what extent they are expected to go to in order to verify a document's legitimacy. Unfortunately suing the auditors is likely to drain even more of the victim's reclaimed assets so it may not be worth it anyway.
Yeah she conned people for a living so she could con her way out of most things. I don't think shes dead maybe shes conning all the right people into thinking she is dead and shes really sitting in another country right now living it up on all that money that wasn't hers lol. The whole story is off. She had an older son the day she was reported missing she went out for a walk at like 5am and the son heres the door open and close. She never went for morning walks the husband said. I bet she took off at 5am in the morning because most people wouldn't be awake by then and could of got out of the country before the police knocked on her door. Who knows but how can you class someone dead without a body
Knowing all she was doing was so high-risk you can't tell me she didn't have an 'escape plan' ready to switch on the moment she got caught - and who knows just whose foot remains were in the shoe found? Just look at the state of dishonesty and corruption in our courts, political and law systems today.
This wouldn't fly in the us. The parents would lose that house in a heartbeat. Its not in their name. They have no claim. They got scammed by their daughter like everyone else It doesn't mean they deserve the life of luxury that their daughter stole and made up just to con more people, and on top to get 95% of their value back when everyone else who invested is lucky to get 45%. Thats disgusting
@@alanb9337 give me a break, NZ is the most left western country on the planet even worth than Australia, the NZ gov will go on TV talking about NZ values and honestly and integrity then pass laws giving special treatment to china allowing them to buy up everything and even giving them protection. In AUS its getting so bad if you critisize CHina you can get charged for hate speech , they love money and NZ and AUS dont apply when there is money involved ... the there our darling big trade partner adn decieve a certain amount of legal protection gets used.... its impossible to get money back in AUS and id say NZ is even worse. the US has strict laws AUS still has suspended sentances where is the punishment its nothing
@@susanohnhaus611 There is I suspect a massive chunk of what Madoff stole that was never recovered, Madoff conspired with several persons globally to launder money. One of the things the Madoff scandal revealed about the US financial system that as of yet has not been addressed or seen further discussion of, the FDIC is insolvent and unable to pay out coverage for accounts its backing due to not charging traders enough fee's to cover fraud. Multi-billion dollar trading houses were being charged maybe 10's of dollars a year to cover short falls. It's absurd really..
Both the parents and her fraud husband should be held accountable for the actions of this woman and they should also be held liable to pay back the hard earned money of the people who blindly trusted her
Unless the parents can be proven accomplices, they should not be held responsible. Although I do believe one all 'available ' money has been recouped by the sale of all of Mallisa's property, the money should be split equally or calculated by the sum of their total loss (with the exception of it not exceeding their original total financial loss). It does make sense that the auditors should be held partly responsible (because they are policing it), they can also afford it being a multi-million dollar auditing company. But has previously mentioned, the only people at the moment gaining financially from this is all the clients lawyers. Whatever way you look at it, they all need to get their money back in full.
I got involved with a con artist but was darn lucky to recognize their behavior and get away from them ASAP. Beware people. A lot of con artists out in the community looking for targets.
I had a friend like that cut her off so she turned around n tried to make me the problem n bad friend. Seen how all her children were taken in by social services even her newborn n how her husband left her. Should have known better earlier those were the days i trusted ppl. Even tho I endured a lot of abusive ppl. Last time I saw her she was frauding on the streets. They never change or wake up. They are narcissists most likely.
So very true, my Dad’s own brother did this, I’m just thankful that they talked to me before they just handed over $10,000 to him. I made my parents look at their own home and reinvested back into the home, my grand parents his in laws his sister they all lost everything and yet he still managed to live in a lovely expensive home, my Aunt managed to keep her home just. She still talks to him but we have not spoken except at Grans funeral which I stood in for Dad as Mom was by this time to sick to travel. His brother was the youngest of them and Gran would not hear anything negative about him even when he had cleaned her out and left her to live in near poverty, she still covered for him and still gave him money. I was asked by him to do data entry before it all happened, I’m not good at maths but I am good at data entry, I thought I was going to get paid, even worked in the office for a month, as I was punching in the data, I started to question things, but not understanding it I let it slide, it was when I went to get paid and was asked if I could wait a week thats when I started to really look at what I was doing for him. I talked to my Mom because I was scared to upset Dad as it was his brother after all, it was about this time his brother wanted Dad to invest into the company. I copied everything in the office and sent it to the Tax office and left the company I got a real job that paid weekly not monthly or in this case never. I learned also never work for family. I felt bad for Dad but when he found out he said I did the right thing, I did what he taught me to be and that was to be honest. It caused such a rift in the family for such a long time, but when he was charged for embezzling the others came around and talked to Dad that was over 30 years ago, and my uncle still thinks he’s done nothing wrong, but even his own children do not give him money any more going by what my Aunt has said. Once a con artist always a con artist, they will find a way to get what they want in the end or end up in prison.
@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 Narcissist sounds to me like a sorry ass excuse for a demon possessed person that's been dead a long time already. Soulless. Not negative. They have their memories, voice, personality and carry on with that body.
Very surprised the husband isn't liable for anything. Did he know and was just on the ride until she warned he would be an accomplice? I never thought suicide, someone that self-serving would rarely take their own life. The parents mindset sums up her's, just not their problem and what's in it for them. Amazing how money can be covered in blood and just be washed.
I thought so too before I learned more. He is intellectually disabled, or has a very very low IQ to the point of it being the same thing. it’s just that his family doesn’t see the need to label him with that, perhaps to spare his feelings. If you learn more it becomes apparent.
True. A law enforcement agency usually makes that call, with no body and no crime screen, they must resort to other tactics like looking into financial transactions after the disappearance and declaring someone dead that way. If someone changes identities, that method is also meaningless.
@@tonesmichael even if it was cut off, doesn't mean she is dead. Toxicology reports show traces of drugs, which drugs would be present if the foot broke off vs was cut off?????
If you think you can't be scammed, you're more likely to be taken advantage of because you're completely discounting that possibility. My friends were scammed by one of the largest, oldest and most well known financial institutions in the world. Melissa used exactly the same methods that were used on my friends. They're age old, well tested and effective because human nature is as it is - unchanged for millenia.
The apartment was separate to the fake financial services she was offering. She legit bought a unit with mortgage and the parents paid 1 million to the bank - not the scam account
As an American, I'd like to say congratulations for opening the comment section. Sometimes it's more entertaining than the actual video. We have tons of people just like her in this country. They're called government officials
@@rayray8137 Neither will most of the people on this earth right now, including supposed Christians. Most people are unrepentant and live in constant sin- watching xxx videos or looking up pictures on Instagram to jack off to, sleeping with many partners before marriage, having children before marriage, lying, stealing, being jealous or envious of others or what other people have and hating them for it, not forgiving others for what they have done to you, vaping or smoking cigarettes, smoking weed & drinking alcohol....yeah... Most people are not even CLOSE to living the life God wants them to live, and they have no relationship with him either- yet they celebrate when others are damned for eternity, just ASSUMING that they will not enter into the same fate. It's nothing to smile or be happy about, no matter what that person did when they were here on this Earth, that is eternity, never-ending torment... It breaks God's heart for every soul that does not enter into heaven, and it breaks mine as well.. he certainly isn't celebrating, so I'm not going to either.
People like her ruin it for real financial advisors. Greed is real and now wexknow she gets it from her parents. They are practically in the grave and still expect their money back in full. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
"real financial advisors" what like the ones that work at Super companies and can't seem to make better than $300 in 10 years on your investment.. yeah I am sure they are all super legit.
@@74KU lol!! Ya well greedy people think they can double their money with scammers. Legit deals with the market and ya sometimes you money don't go up but atleast you know where your money is and if you want it back you will get it. Such a stupid thing to say its as if you support ponzi
What you say is true to a point but don’t forget she played on their greed as well. Please read my comment thank you. (she’s now in HELL. Most soul’s in HELL didn’t believe in HELL when alive on earth!). God bless.
Stop the nonsense you have to trust someone you do it every day have to do it unless you would end up in a psychiatric ward. Drive a car recently yeah and did you conduct engineering tests on all the apparatus. You chances are not even competent to do the necessary tests. Money in the bank you of course did a forensic audit on the institution.
Now it is greedy to want a good return on investment. That is the rationalization of every conman. The Yellow Kid said as much in his book Ponzi I think said that too. It's the victims falt.
I am glad you realize the circumstances. My probing mindset pisses off both family and friends. I now recognize these people are good so I study the cases going back to John Law. A book called Facts Failures and Frauds sent me down this pathway. Ivar Krueger the Swede. Bernie Cornfeld Robert Vesco. Frauds in my home country of Jamaica David Smith of Olint Carlos Hill of Cash Plus. I am combing the Common Wealth. The central bank of Surinam got scammed by the former central bank governor. Dovetail all these studies with the deadly triad of personality disorders written on by Dr Hare out of Vancover and the exploits of short sellers like Carson Block.
I don't believe that she is dead. How is she not caught on any camera in that wealthy area? Hubby is in on her escape or he killed her within that 30-hour window. She clearly didn't walk away but could have been disguised and left unnoticed. Her husband stated that she was like a robot, and kept on top of everything. This was the only time that she disappeared. So why did he wait 30 hours to report her missing if it was unusual for her to be out of contact? 30 hours is a good amount of time to hide a body or to fake a death. I'd like to see the husband's interrogation to see if they pressed him or believed him. I don't.
You're right he is suspicious especially when a top investigator said he always says something different while being interviewed on several occasions. I believed she's alive otherwise part of all of her body would have been found. They should look into all the countries in Europe including Switzerland if she's hiding there under a different name. Or she could be in South Africa or the southern part of Latin America. The investors deserve to get all their money back now not later or years will come.
In the US, the law says that anyone who benefitted from a ponzi scheme needs to give the money back that they made. That would include any of the early investors who started seeing a return on their so called investment. Any money they were given due to that, would need to be returned. So all the law suits here wouldn't even be necessary as law enforcement would be the ones responsible for getting as much money back as possible.
WOW so surprise we can write comments on this channel finally THANK YOU !!!! so the medical examiner not declaring suicide sure hit a nerve with Koletti !! got physical with the reporters !!!!
@@lee-ln5bg oh, ok i had no idea there was a difference !! thanks man !! but I never saw any that I could comment on so was totally surprised to see this !! cheers !!!
My uncal stole heaps of money from his company he worked at and was sending it over to a Canada bank account. She never knew etc didn't put 2 and 2 together when he got a brand new car and some brand new items etc. Then one day the cops knocked on their door looking for him by this stage my Aunty told them that he went to NSW for 3 days for a working trip, Turns out he went to Canada to live without her knowing. She still lives in the house he paid off with some of the money etc. Maybe he didn't know she was a conwomen she could of conned her own husband
I fully believe that she's still alive. A foot isn't enough to rule it out, however she knew it would so it was a sacrifice she was willing to make to perpetuate her cons.
Didn't they only find a foot? I'm sure you could pay a underworld doctor to surgically remove a foot and then stage it like a death . wouldn't be surprised if she is still alive overseas.
Her parents should be greatly ashamed of their late daughter's actions, instead of demanding an unfair share of the decreased value of all the things she selfishly purchased from stolen money. The attorney's comment that victims should "swallow the bitter pill and get on with it" is absurd. Would he be willing to do that with HIS life savings? Or maybe "swallow the bitter pill" and give up some of his take? Hail no he wouldn't! Also, I don't believe the victims will be getting 45% back after the parents' settlement. He's probably overinflating that number for the camera.
Having dealt with lawyers many years ago, i can tell you they are probably worse than Melissa, they charge absolutely ridiculous prices for their services, $300,000 in a case, and if it goes on no money will be left for anyone, but the Solicitors, Barrister's and Queens Council.
@@kaysamuels1995 I totally agree. My experience is that when lawyers (and some accountants) are involved, you end up with a bigger problem with the lawyers than you had with the other party in the first place.
@@thatonethisone5904 For one thing, they put their million dollar property in HER name, so that was their choice, probably as a tax shelter. Also, wouldn't you feel at the very least bad that your children, adult or not, were committing serious crime? I would. They're only in the world because you made them. For them to want the lion's share of their money back, while everyone else she stole from plays a waiting game for part or even little restitution, is especially vile.
I believe she had an emergency exit strategy. My theory is she hired a boat to wisk her away. She was on the boat with a bag that contained cash / gold / diamonds, basically an untraceable portable fortune. The boat captain knew she had this with her and knew nobody knew were she was, so he killed her and stole the money. Dumped her overboard. He probably still operates a boat in the area.
This happened to my parents in 2005 and they lost everything absolutely completely and had to start again in their 40s. Good thing is my mum knows people and works in law ;) dude is in jail🎉
She robbed her own parents...who wouldnt she robbed?!!!! If she's dead its not hard to think that foul play is involved. So sad, a son is left without a mother and its only a matter of time before he hears what she has done to his grandparents and other famiy members
My best friends Dad did same thing. Even had balls to ask his sons girlfriends parents he had been dating since like 6th grade for like 8 9 years.they were dating at the time. Thank god they said no.
A chunk of my heart will always be with these victims. They did not deserve this. May God help these people locate all the missing assets to allow for a speedy repayment.
No if it was my daughter i would be bloody ashamed and would be wanting to help those who she had ripped off before myself. But they fell for her as well. She made them sell their family home to move closer to her and for them to be in some big apartment. they thought the house was under their name and thought it was all theirs. But they was fooled because she had everything under her name and well she wasted half their money on jewellery and expensive things
Well you can see where Melissa gets her nature from!.The money from what ever Melissa's parents buy, or savings, should be redistrubited to all the victims when they die. But of course they'll use it or spend it. She still may be alive somewhere but her husband is a real shady dodgy character. His father whenninterviewed was also very careful about what he said. Dodgy all of it.!!!!!
They always look so normal and even motherly. I remember when I was in Uni we had a law class assignment that required us to go down to the courts. I sat in on one case of embezzlement by a company controller. She looked so nice and at that moment it solidified that saying " don't judge a book by it's cover" I also don't respect any one just because they are wealthy. You have to earn my respect. Even thieves can be wealthy through thievery.
"It's not about whats fair Tom". What an answer, what a deflection from the parents selfish behaviour. The money should be divided equally, in fact if i was her parent i wouldn't want any money back, I would take some responsibility and show some empathy for the victims that their daughter failed to show. Narcissists can breed narcissists...
No-one ever mentions the greed of investors. We’re talking money for nothing. They see wealth and want a piece of the action. Many financial investments have victims. Someone somewhere loses when you win
There’s a small chance the husband killed her but what no one ever says directly but his own father has said in other words is that Anthony is intellectually on the border of being disabled.
Why would someone who decides to commit su*c*de avoid cameras or was it just luck?When she left the house at 5:30 that morning not 1 camera on any of the neighbouring properties picked her up walking/jogging down the street. However no1 seen her leave the house, her son said he heard to front door shut so he assumed it was his mom going for her morning jog.Reports say that not all the area has CCTV cameras but an extensive portion does & still she was not seen.When she was classified as being just missing every $ she stole in every account she had was frozen,no1 could touch any of that $. Then 3 months later a foot shows up on a beach 500k away from Dover Heights near the area she used to go to as a child, no longer a missing person the $ is released. I think its possible she was m*rdered, after all this time the only remains found was that foot, just enough for her to go from being missing to being dead. The rest could be buried somewhere. As for parents getting 95% & the rest getting 30-40%, i think that bs. They shouldn't be treated any different than the rest of her victims. If they get more, than they r benefiting from their daughters crimes. The only way we give up our condo is if we get 950k? well thats extortion. Makes me think the apple didn't fall all that far from the tree.
How could any Auditor sign off fraud like that, they need to be made an example of and pay for their sins, my sympathy lies with the victims, exl her parents, they have no integrity.
How many people out there would have their “ foot “ cut off (by a private Doctor/Surgeon) for 20 million? or lots of cash and a new life no prison time…. So what you have a prosthetic, you cut off the left foot so you can still drive your Ferrari with your new identity in a country with no extradition treaty with Australia. These are the Countries the Police should be looking for her. It’s a foot not a leg or arm way too thought out months if not years ahead, well planned way to easy to disappear.
Canadian here, tuning into this story for the first time. Firstly, I feel terrible for all of the victims, and really hope everyone gets what they deserve, positive and otherwise. Secondly, I don't think its foul play. Without knowing anything about this woman outside of this, ending her life would be yet another escape, and with herself in control of her outcome. Not having to face the victims, or the consequences of riches to prison. I doubt she would let herself go to jail. She may have had enough cash money to escape, but perhaps she never planned for that.
Someone killed her? That sounds like the consequences of her own actions. Her parents should be living in shame, not a penthouse. They raised a greedy, lying thief. She didn't get those traits from a cornflakes box now did she?
It would be interesting if 60 Minutes Australia, or some other news agency, could do a piece on how Melissa Caddick was as a child, young girl and young woman, growing up. Was she a bully? Attention seeker? Aspirational? Did she have a history of taking from other people and only keeping it for herself? I guess I'm asking for an in depth analysis of her behavior during her formative years. Lastly, I am an American. I really enjoy 60 Minutes Australia! I wish I could move there and live out my retirement years.
"Attention seeker? Aspirational? Did she have a history of taking from other people and only keeping it for herself?" Mistress Harley does a lot of that.
The Sydney Morning Herald has done a very good podcast called Liar,Liar, which does a deep dive into her early life. I found it to be absolutely fascinating. .
There are a lot of snakes and spiders there😅.Just wanted to let me know.Oh,snakes and spiders are not so dangerous than gun violence in America so good luck in Australia 🤓
This evil woman no matter her childhood/upbringing new exactly what she was doing and didn’t give a damn. Now she’s in HELL. (most soul’s in HELL didn’t believe in HELL when alive on earth!). Please be so kind and read my comment thank you and God bless.
My cousin's husband did the same thing. Family and friends silly enough to hand all their investments to him. He spend all their investments on a 10 bedroom mansion, luxury cars ECT...well all that was eventually sold to pay victims back.
The lawyer is very good. A good man, going into bat for good people. I so hope everything he's going for, for the victims, comes to fruition. Bless those people. I so feel for them.
The lawyer is an arse hole, like they all are. If he was "good" and cared he would do it for free or cheap. Like fuck, lawyers are all about money. That's why he's doing it. Absolutely nothing can justify the amount they charge. Look at any other industry or business and see if you can justify their fees, relative to their costs. You cannot. For got sake they charge $250/hour for the woman in the office pressing GO on a photocopier.
As far as I understand, Melissa Caddick used an out-of-the-way, small accounting firm to audit her "financial Statements," so what are the chances of recuperating millions down that road? Sounds like even more money into the lawyers' pockets. Was the accounting firm well insured for its own incompetence, negligence, or fraud?
Nice to see comments turned on for this video! Also people just remember, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is! I'll just leave that there.
No need to hand over your money to some small time manager, unless you're seeking impossible returns from your retirement. Put it with Schwab, Fidelity in a target date fund and forget about it.

Yep - as I always say: the trash didn't fall far from the can.

She’s probably still alive. A foot found on the beach? That’s not enough to say she’s dead. She’s a CON ARTIST.
Humm...a foot...or jail?? 😅 a foot. 2:21
I have legit been thinking this
I doubt she’s dead .. who has to gain the most from her death ?
The answer is Melissa caddick ! Or if she had some kind of death insurance maybe 🤔 her husband ?
No, that bitch is dead.
too self centred to take her own life....dis-gruntled investor holding the key im tippn.Always the closest to us.
Her brother and her husband know more than they are telling. Her parents definitely raised a child in their own image.
They know more but I think the husband was really hurt. And the son. Her son has got to be devastated. Anthony is a good man to continue raising the boy and giving his all to see that the boy receives a good education and grow up well. Of course the brother is in shock. I hope those 3 men stick close together and get through it. I believe Melissa is alive. She will never show her face again. Just hope she doesn’t manipulate things from whatever she is.

How do we know melissa is alive?
Her husband definitely does, he's a slimeball
@FourHuskyHomestead they mentioned they had proof it was her and she was dead. Do you have any proof that shows she's not dead?
I feel worst for her son.
Thanks for mentioning him. He's important, too, and likely hurting the most!
I wouldn't be surprised if she was still Alive, living a nice life somewhere with an Artificial Foot and maybe a Brand New Face. What makes me say that, she's a Con Woman and only One foot was ever found. 🤔
A new face definitely was a much needed thing anyway.
The theory she’s alive undermines the assassins that killed her and protects them from prosecution at the same time
Jeeze!wouldn't be surprised!
Every Con Man Con Woman has a Plan B, for when the 💩 hits the Fan, She would of been stashing Cash here there and everywhere for years, probably.
Serious crimp in her shoe shopping…
She's not dead. She's out there somewhere minus a foot.
😂lol
She was very well planned woman who had rich connections :P she could of had a bail out plan :P
Spoiler alert, she's dead.
Always 1 foot ahead, deceiving people is her game
Or someone else is minus a foot
She was scum, how many lives has she destroyed. The fact she had a $10M mansion,
Hope everyone gets their money back.
Anthony Koletti and her brother Adam Grimley are as guilty as her, they should be in jail.
I completely agree!🤔👍
Money is money
Murder is worse
@@user-allanH Yeah my Auntry had a husabnd for 25 years he was taking money from the company he had worked at and sending it overseas to some lady in Canada. Apparently it was a huge amount. Just when the company had started to investigate into where their money was going he fled the country and that morning when the cops knocked on my Aunties door and was asking her where he was she didn't know she thought he had gone on a work trip at the last second like he did most of the time. I remember her calling my mum and my mum going to her house she was in tears. She had no idea this whole time what he had been doing. they had a house together, everything was in both their names.
The cops got him he had fled to canada where he had married another women and had a child with and apparently he had knocked her up before he came home and that was why he was sending money over to her. They found him 2 years later and brought him back to Australia now hes in Jail and will be for a very long time.
It all boils down to greed. If it's too good to be true then you are being scammed 😮
I believe we have been.
My family was a victim of a con like her. They are bad people who literally stole other people’s money.
Hence the title
No wonder her parents made such a evil woman. They are evil themselves.
Sometimes parents are good people
@@Bambotb wait what 😂
Family of narcissists
She didn't lick it off a stone
The parents should also get only 40-45% back of the money they paid, just like the rest of the investors. It's very sad for them because it was their own daughter who ripped them off, but they may have benefited from her scam in other ways while it was still going on.
The one thing is her villa has increased in value since she bought it. So if the prosecutors get a good deal for it that will make up for some of the money that's just irreplacable.
Yes…parents could add up gifts, vacations, dinners etc. and deduct that from their 1 m …I bet most of the other victims did not get as much. AND parents may be hiding assets. Also…the fire sale of the property is unfortunate…lawyers want the money instead of going to a realtor?
@@jeanlaubenthal698 -- Hopefully the court will make sure that forensic accountants are involved, tracking purchases made by the daughter on behalf of the parents while she was running the scam. I think it's reasonable to deduct any of that from whatever amount they would get from the sale of the home.
Her parents should relinquish the house to the creditors who should then sell the house and put it into the pool of money. Then her parents if they have the receipts should come forward like everyone else to claim money and it should be split evenly. That is the process, that smug lawyer is probably the parents lawyer.
@@shizzynwa I totally agree with you. How dare they assume they deserve more than the other investors. I guess cuz they're family. But, being family, you'd think they'd feel responsible. They created this greedy beast
I have a hard time accepting that she’s truly dead.
Same
Me too. She’s too clever.
@@shondra6 She got caught first, so clearly not that clever.
Yeah where's her skull and other bones?
Yeah me to a conwomen who conned even her own family is dead just like that? even if the husband knew what she was doing you don't think she would be hiding a lot from him as well???? i mean what about if she took money out of her bank accounts each week and had it stashed ready to do a runner incase something catcher up to her? Who knows but she was smart enough to bloody con people in the first place she could con her own death and people wouldn't know about it.
Prayers for all of the victims and families affected. 🙏🏼
Her husband have to be investigated properly about her death!
Her parents are entitled to nothing.
and that's why they conned people. So they can have something, because they were entitled to nothing. Rooting for them
I say give their money back their victims too.
30dollar tent..
They're entitled to the same payout as other victims, IF they have written proof of having given her money, i suppose. Unless it appears it was a gift.
Then neither are the greedy people who think Runescape Money Double scam is legit..
Melissa's entitlement and self-centeredness are definitely the apples that haven't fallen far from the tree. Shame of her parents. Their years of living in the penthouse ought to be amortized against their financial contributions.
Agree. We now know where her attitude came from. They created her.
She must of learned that shit from the findoms.
Awww just said same exact I hadn’t thought of their time living in the penthouse. It definitely should be considered!
😮 4:13 5:31
Right??? They’re the ones who raised this amoral con woman…. They should be LAST in line, not first!
The auditors should definitely be sued as well, either they didn't do a job they were paid for or they were in on it, either way they should pay the consequences of their actions or lack thereof
Legally they are fine, their job is to liquidate assets not get top dollar for them, its no different than a bank foreclosure.. unless you think banks all need suing too..
@@74KU I think they are referring to the auditors who (I assume) were either hired or required to oversee her books while she was actively "investing".
@@nutbuster66684 No doubt, but probably your own mistake is in "assuming" that anybody posting on UA-cam comments would have the nouse to understand the differences between "liquidators" after the fact and "auditors" before the fact. 😉
However, is it part of their job to verify if receipts and other documents presented to them are genuine or forged? Forging documents was clearly one of her skills.
@@michelleobrien6996 Yes it is definitely part of the auditors job to verify that the documents are legitimate. I'd be interested to know what extent they are expected to go to in order to verify a document's legitimacy. Unfortunately suing the auditors is likely to drain even more of the victim's reclaimed assets so it may not be worth it anyway.
She definitely learned her morals from her parents
It's very hard to get over a scammer. Very. The pain it causes is just out of this world.
It’s unfair that her parents got more than the other victims
That’s cause she’s still alive and her parents are helping her out. Foot or
Prison? Hmmm idk the answer is easy .
But if there is one lesson to be learned, is always do your research before investing into anything, and always invest what you’re willing to lose

cant be that smart if she got raided?!
@Joan Arc yeah so shes dumb for no running away before they did
Yeah she conned people for a living so she could con her way out of most things. I don't think shes dead maybe shes conning all the right people into thinking she is dead and shes really sitting in another country right now living it up on all that money that wasn't hers lol. The whole story is off. She had an older son the day she was reported missing she went out for a walk at like 5am and the son heres the door open and close. She never went for morning walks the husband said. I bet she took off at 5am in the morning because most people wouldn't be awake by then and could of got out of the country before the police knocked on her door. Who knows but how can you class someone dead without a body
Knowing all she was doing was so high-risk you can't tell me she didn't have an 'escape plan' ready to switch on the moment she got caught - and who knows just whose foot remains were in the shoe found? Just look at the state of dishonesty and corruption in our courts, political and law systems today.
This wouldn't fly in the us. The parents would lose that house in a heartbeat. Its not in their name. They have no claim. They got scammed by their daughter like everyone else
It doesn't mean they deserve the life of luxury that their daughter stole and made up just to con more people, and on top to get 95% of their value back when everyone else who invested is lucky to get 45%. Thats disgusting
Same in NZ. The Proceeds of Crime Act would result in the parents' dwelling being seized.
Well, we do have Bernie Madoff
@@alanb9337 give me a break, NZ is the most left western country on the planet even worth than Australia, the NZ gov will go on TV talking about NZ values and honestly and integrity then pass laws giving special treatment to china allowing them to buy up everything and even giving them protection. In AUS its getting so bad if you critisize CHina you can get charged for hate speech , they love money and NZ and AUS dont apply when there is money involved ... the there our darling big trade partner adn decieve a certain amount of legal protection gets used.... its impossible to get money back in AUS and id say NZ is even worse. the US has strict laws AUS still has suspended sentances where is the punishment its nothing
@@susanohnhaus611 Yes, but he was also prosecuted and his family lost just about everything
@@susanohnhaus611 There is I suspect a massive chunk of what Madoff stole that was never recovered, Madoff conspired with several persons globally to launder money.
One of the things the Madoff scandal revealed about the US financial system that as of yet has not been addressed or seen further discussion of, the FDIC is insolvent and unable to pay out coverage for accounts its backing due to not charging traders enough fee's to cover fraud. Multi-billion dollar trading houses were being charged maybe 10's of dollars a year to cover short falls. It's absurd really..
Columbo needs to investigate this "death".
Both the parents and her fraud husband should be held accountable for the actions of this woman and they should also be held liable to pay back the hard earned money of the people who blindly trusted her
are you being serious it’s got fuck all to do with her mother or father they got scammed there self’s so why should they be held accountable!!
Unless the parents can be proven accomplices, they should not be held responsible. Although I do believe one all 'available ' money has been recouped by the sale of all of Mallisa's property, the money should be split equally or calculated by the sum of their total loss (with the exception of it not exceeding their original total financial loss).
It does make sense that the auditors should be held partly responsible (because they are policing it), they can also afford it being a multi-million dollar auditing company. But has previously mentioned, the only people at the moment gaining financially from this is all the clients lawyers. Whatever way you look at it, they all need to get their money back in full.
Well it's a great thing you're an internet commenter nobody and not somebody with power to have any say in this. Peak stupidity
I got involved with a con artist but was darn lucky to recognize their behavior and get away from them ASAP. Beware people. A lot of con artists out in the community looking for targets.
I had a friend like that cut her off so she turned around n tried to make me the problem n bad friend. Seen how all her children were taken in by social services even her newborn n how her husband left her. Should have known better earlier those were the days i trusted ppl. Even tho I endured a lot of abusive ppl. Last time I saw her she was frauding on the streets. They never change or wake up. They are narcissists most likely.
So very true, my Dad’s own brother did this, I’m just thankful that they talked to me before they just handed over $10,000 to him. I made my parents look at their own home and reinvested back into the home, my grand parents his in laws his sister they all lost everything and yet he still managed to live in a lovely expensive home, my Aunt managed to keep her home just. She still talks to him but we have not spoken except at Grans funeral which I stood in for Dad as Mom was by this time to sick to travel. His brother was the youngest of them and Gran would not hear anything negative about him even when he had cleaned her out and left her to live in near poverty, she still covered for him and still gave him money. I was asked by him to do data entry before it all happened, I’m not good at maths but I am good at data entry, I thought I was going to get paid, even worked in the office for a month, as I was punching in the data, I started to question things, but not understanding it I let it slide, it was when I went to get paid and was asked if I could wait a week thats when I started to really look at what I was doing for him. I talked to my Mom because I was scared to upset Dad as it was his brother after all, it was about this time his brother wanted Dad to invest into the company. I copied everything in the office and sent it to the Tax office and left the company I got a real job that paid weekly not monthly or in this case never. I learned also never work for family.
I felt bad for Dad but when he found out he said I did the right thing, I did what he taught me to be and that was to be honest. It caused such a rift in the family for such a long time, but when he was charged for embezzling the others came around and talked to Dad that was over 30 years ago, and my uncle still thinks he’s done nothing wrong, but even his own children do not give him money any more going by what my Aunt has said.
Once a con artist always a con artist, they will find a way to get what they want in the end or end up in prison.
@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 Narcissist sounds to me like a sorry ass excuse for a demon possessed person that's been dead a long time already. Soulless. Not negative. They have their memories, voice, personality and carry on with that body.

@@steveburke7675 well said
Very surprised the husband isn't liable for anything.
Did he know and was just on the ride until she warned he would be an accomplice?
I never thought suicide, someone that self-serving would rarely take their own life.

Amazing how money can be covered in blood and just be washed.
I thought so too before I learned more. He is intellectually disabled, or has a very very low IQ to the point of it being the same thing. it’s just that his family doesn’t see the need to label him with that, perhaps to spare his feelings. If you learn more it becomes apparent.

Hey, like Adolph,she might be living footless in south America.
How does a coroner determine her death with only a foot?!
Dna
True. A law enforcement agency usually makes that call, with no body and no crime screen, they must resort to other tactics like looking into financial transactions after the disappearance and declaring someone dead that way. If someone changes identities, that method is also meaningless.
@@Cultwatch123 I think they mean that her foot could be chopped off and she could still be alive.
@@tonesmichael even if it was cut off, doesn't mean she is dead. Toxicology reports show traces of drugs, which drugs would be present if the foot broke off vs was cut off?????
@@dec1slh There would be pain relief present. Something like morphine, in the tissue. That's my thinking anyhoo.
The parents certainly have the “entitled” disposition.
The partner needs investigating properly, he's definitely more involved in all these crimes for sure .
If you think you can't be scammed, you're more likely to be taken advantage of because you're completely discounting that possibility.
My friends were scammed by one of the largest, oldest and most well known financial institutions in the world. Melissa used exactly the same methods that were used on my friends. They're age old, well tested and effective because human nature is as it is - unchanged for millenia.
Greed😮
I hope they do find a legitimate case against the auditors for all of Melisa’s victims.
Because guess what….??……where they have let one slip through there will be others.
Seems like her parents taught her everything they knew about conning others.
wish that were my parents. Sounds like some useful parents, that you could learn off of
The apartment was separate to the fake financial services she was offering. She legit bought a unit with mortgage and the parents paid 1 million to the bank - not the scam account

Money in the bank you of course did a forensic audit on the institution.
Now it is greedy to want a good return on investment. That is the rationalization of every conman. The Yellow Kid said as much in his book Ponzi I think said that too. It's the victims falt.
I am glad you realize the circumstances. My probing mindset pisses off both family and friends. I now recognize these people are good so I study the cases going back to John Law. A book called Facts Failures and Frauds sent me down this pathway. Ivar Krueger the Swede. Bernie Cornfeld Robert Vesco. Frauds in my home country of Jamaica David Smith of Olint Carlos Hill of Cash Plus. I am combing the Common Wealth. The central bank of Surinam got scammed by the former central bank governor. Dovetail all these studies with the deadly triad of personality disorders written on by Dr Hare out of Vancover and the exploits of short sellers like Carson Block.
I don't believe that she is dead. How is she not caught on any camera in that wealthy area?
Hubby is in on her escape or he killed her within that 30-hour window.
She clearly didn't walk away but could have been disguised and left unnoticed.
Her husband stated that she was like a robot, and kept on top of everything. This was the only time that she disappeared. So why did he wait 30 hours to report her missing if it was unusual for her to be out of contact?
30 hours is a good amount of time to hide a body or to fake a death.
I'd like to see the husband's interrogation to see if they pressed him or believed him. I don't.
You're right he is suspicious especially when a top investigator said he always says something different while being interviewed on several occasions. I believed she's alive otherwise part of all of her body would have been found. They should look into all the countries in Europe including Switzerland if she's hiding there under a different name. Or she could be in South Africa or the southern part of Latin America. The investors deserve to get all their money back now not later or years will come.
In the US, the law says that anyone who benefitted from a ponzi scheme needs to give the money back that they made. That would include any of the early investors who started seeing a return on their so called investment. Any money they were given due to that, would need to be returned.
So all the law suits here wouldn't even be necessary as law enforcement would be the ones responsible for getting as much money back as possible.

She still lives in the house he paid off with some of the money etc. Maybe he didn't know she was a conwomen she could of conned her own husband
In order to be cruel to your friends and family, you can't have a conscience.
She picked her victims well as well.
i feel so sad for all the victims of this. I really hope something great comes out of this and they can get most of their money back 😢
I fully believe that she's still alive. A foot isn't enough to rule it out, however she knew it would so it was a sacrifice she was willing to make to perpetuate her cons.
So many people with no ideas about lockdown conditions in Australia at that time, and also amputation, like it would’ve been all so easy….
Who can say it was definitely HER foot remains? When one has much money, as all criminals know, other people can be 'bought'.
Didn't they only find a foot? I'm sure you could pay a underworld doctor to surgically remove a foot and then stage it like a death . wouldn't be surprised if she is still alive overseas.
Yeah apparently only a foot they found. She conned people for a living i am sure she could con people of her own death.
May not even BE her foot. We live in a very corrupt age.
Her parents should be greatly ashamed of their late daughter's actions, instead of demanding an unfair share of the decreased value of all the things she selfishly purchased from stolen money. The attorney's comment that victims should "swallow the bitter pill and get on with it" is absurd. Would he be willing to do that with HIS life savings? Or maybe "swallow the bitter pill" and give up some of his take? Hail no he wouldn't! Also, I don't believe the victims will be getting 45% back after the parents' settlement. He's probably overinflating that number for the camera.
Having dealt with lawyers many years ago, i can tell you they are probably worse than Melissa, they charge absolutely ridiculous prices for their services, $300,000 in a case, and if it goes on no money will be left for anyone, but the Solicitors, Barrister's and Queens Council.

Why should they be ? It was their adult daughters choices, not theirs
@@thatonethisone5904 For one thing, they put their million dollar property in HER name, so that was their choice, probably as a tax shelter. Also, wouldn't you feel at the very least bad that your children, adult or not, were committing serious crime? I would. They're only in the world because you made them. For them to want the lion's share of their money back, while everyone else she stole from plays a waiting game for part or even little restitution, is especially vile.
I believe she had an emergency exit strategy. My theory is she hired a boat to wisk her away. She was on the boat with a bag that contained cash / gold / diamonds, basically an untraceable portable fortune. The boat captain knew she had this with her and knew nobody knew were she was, so he killed her and stole the money. Dumped her overboard. He probably still operates a boat in the area.
Interesting hypothesis
Smart captain😂
She killed her self, jumped off a cliff, most likely scenario anyway
😂😂😂😂
They found her remains watch the video 🙄
Why is the headline titled "officially dead" when there is no body of hers just a foot...she could still be alive overseas.
Exactly.
This happened to my parents in 2005 and they lost everything absolutely completely and had to start again in their 40s. Good thing is my mum knows people and works in law ;) dude is in jail🎉
DId they recover any of the money?
She robbed her own parents...who wouldnt she robbed?!!!! If she's dead its not hard to think that foul play is involved. So sad, a son is left without a mother and its only a matter of time before he hears what she has done to his grandparents and other famiy members
I’ve learned everything about this case. It’s suicide.
Absolutely shocking.

I don't remember if they revealed his age...Google states he's 14 but not the husband's child.
@@M_SCit's possible but just hard to imagine that such a charismatic women who seemingly looked okay committed suicide...
The old saying goes... "Apples do not fall far from the tree." As the parents are greedy and selfish, their daughter lived a selfish greedy life.
Some people believe that personal wealth is suggestive of intelligence. Money does NOT confer intellectual ability.😮
Auditors are suspicious, charged her to 'look' over her books YEARLY and never found out her scam?
Having lots of other people's money it seems protects some from the law.
My best friends Dad did same thing. Even had balls to ask his sons girlfriends parents he had been dating since like 6th grade for like 8 9 years.they were dating at the time. Thank god they said no.
A chunk of my heart will always be with these victims. They did not deserve this. May God help these people locate all the missing assets to allow for a speedy repayment.
The parents are no better than she, the fact that they want THEIR money off the TOP is DISGUSTING.
They are the tree that Melissa fell from
The parents have the right to have their own money back, they were also ripped off.
No if it was my daughter i would be bloody ashamed and would be wanting to help those who she had ripped off before myself. But they fell for her as well. She made them sell their family home to move closer to her and for them to be in some big apartment. they thought the house was under their name and thought it was all theirs. But they was fooled because she had everything under her name and well she wasted half their money on jewellery and expensive things
Her parents are victims too ffs
@@pamelashoppinghauls their daughter was a fully grown adult
Well you can see where Melissa gets her nature from!.The money from what ever Melissa's parents buy, or savings, should be redistrubited to all the victims when they die. But of course they'll use it or spend it. She still may be alive somewhere but her husband is a real shady dodgy character. His father whenninterviewed was also very careful about what he said. Dodgy all of it.!!!!!
They always look so normal and even motherly.
I remember when I was in Uni we had a law class assignment that required us to go down to the courts.
I sat in on one case of embezzlement by a company controller.

I also don't respect any one just because they are wealthy. You have to earn my respect. Even thieves can be wealthy through thievery.
"Respect to be respected" and "treat others like you would like to be treated" very simple rules for life.

"It's not about whats fair Tom". What an answer, what a deflection from the parents selfish behaviour.
The money should be divided equally, in fact if i was her parent i wouldn't want any money back, I would take some responsibility and show some empathy for the victims that their daughter failed to show.
Narcissists can breed narcissists...
No-one ever mentions the greed of investors. We’re talking money for nothing. They see wealth and want a piece of the action. Many financial investments have victims. Someone somewhere loses when you win
There’s a small chance the husband killed her but what no one ever says directly but his own father has said in other words is that Anthony is intellectually on the border of being disabled.
I saw that clip, he said something along the lines of- Anthony is not that smart and would believe what he was told (by her).
Yes, he was a trophy husband. She chose him because he’s gullible and easily duped.

Why would someone who decides to commit su*c*de avoid cameras or was it just luck?When she left the house at 5:30 that morning not 1 camera on any of the neighbouring properties picked her up walking/jogging down the street. However no1 seen her leave the house, her son said he heard to front door shut so he assumed it was his mom going for her morning jog.Reports say that not all the area has CCTV cameras but an extensive portion does & still she was not seen.When she was classified as being just missing every $ she stole in every account she had was frozen,no1 could touch any of that $. Then 3 months later a foot shows up on a beach 500k away from Dover Heights near the area she used to go to as a child, no longer a missing person the $ is released. I think its possible she was m*rdered, after all this time the only remains found was that foot, just enough for her to go from being missing to being dead. The rest could be buried somewhere. As for parents getting 95% & the rest getting 30-40%, i think that bs. They shouldn't be treated any different than the rest of her victims. If they get more, than they r benefiting from their daughters crimes. The only way we give up our condo is if we get 950k? well thats extortion. Makes me think the apple didn't fall all that far from the tree.
I think she’s still alive with a missing foot somewhere on a remote island … 🤔
When the authorities of that island find her,they'll tell her to hop it?😂
boy oh boy, those parents certainly raised some quality children
Now there are some people that would cut off their own foot for $30 million.
How could any Auditor sign off fraud like that, they need to be made an example of and pay for their sins, my sympathy lies with the victims, exl her parents, they have no integrity.
That loser husband needs to be charged as an accomplice to her financial crimes. He was definitely in on the scheme.
Only if they can actually find something to pin on him otherwise he can't be charged with anything.
I'm not convinced that she's dead.
How many people out there would have their “ foot “ cut off (by a private Doctor/Surgeon) for 20 million? or lots of cash and a new life no prison time….
So what you have a prosthetic, you cut off the left foot so you can still drive your Ferrari with your new identity in a country with no extradition treaty with Australia. These are the Countries the Police should be looking for her.
It’s a foot not a leg or arm way too thought out months if not years ahead, well planned way to easy to disappear.
Canadian here, tuning into this story for the first time. Firstly, I feel terrible for all of the victims, and really hope everyone gets what they deserve, positive and otherwise. Secondly, I don't think its foul play. Without knowing anything about this woman outside of this, ending her life would be yet another escape, and with herself in control of her outcome. Not having to face the victims, or the consequences of riches to prison. I doubt she would let herself go to jail. She may have had enough cash money to escape, but perhaps she never planned for that.
The devastation of having your savings or inheritance frittered away by someone you trusted..
Yes but how stupid to entrust someone with all your money ....
And she had such monumental bad taste… In everything.
I don't think she's dead.
Agree. Probably alive and well in Africa minus her foot.
Someone killed her? That sounds like the consequences of her own actions. Her parents should be living in shame, not a penthouse. They raised a greedy, lying thief. She didn't get those traits from a cornflakes box now did she?
She’s the type that would’ve wuietly 5ought all along if she got found out she’d just run off that cliff, simple as that
One of the 2 I wonder if the foot was cut of or chomped by a shark
You can’t claim to be a victim when pure greed clouds your judgement.
So a whole bunch of rich people got ripped off by another rich person?
Tough life…
Wow No wonder Melissa was the way she was. her parents dont give a Damn about anyone but themselves. What horrible people!
It would be interesting if 60 Minutes Australia, or some other news agency, could do a piece on how Melissa Caddick was as a child, young girl and young woman, growing up. Was she a bully? Attention seeker? Aspirational? Did she have a history of taking from other people and only keeping it for herself? I guess I'm asking for an in depth analysis of her behavior during her formative years. Lastly, I am an American. I really enjoy 60 Minutes Australia! I wish I could move there and live out my retirement years.
"Attention seeker? Aspirational? Did she have a history of taking from other people and only keeping it for herself?" Mistress Harley does a lot of that.
The Sydney Morning Herald has done a very good podcast called Liar,Liar, which does a deep dive into her early life. I found it to be absolutely fascinating.

There are a lot of snakes and spiders there😅.Just wanted to let me know.Oh,snakes and spiders are not so dangerous than gun violence in America so good luck in Australia 🤓
@@jaybarkjaybark7091... barely any accommodation in Australia too, just like USA these days.
This evil woman no matter her childhood/upbringing new exactly what she was doing and didn’t give a damn. Now she’s in HELL. (most soul’s in HELL didn’t believe in HELL when alive on earth!). Please be so kind and read my comment thank you and God bless.
My cousin's husband did the same thing. Family and friends silly enough to hand all their investments to him. He spend all their investments on a 10 bedroom mansion, luxury cars ECT...well all that was eventually sold to pay victims back.
Her investors weren't SILLY, you condescending muppet. There is good reason why they thought they could trust her.
I would never trust anyone with any of my lifetime savings
People like this is why others grow cold and refuse to help others
A cousin did the same with me and I lost $150, not much but I pulled out and the rest of my family lost thousands
The lawyer is very good. A good man, going into bat for good people. I so hope everything he's going for, for the victims, comes to fruition. Bless those people. I so feel for them.
don't be a fool, the lawyer just found a opportunity to claim so he can get hands on a % of 15 mil
@@erraticskribbla3156Don’t forget publicity.
The lawyer is an arse hole, like they all are. If he was "good" and cared he would do it for free or cheap. Like fuck, lawyers are all about money. That's why he's doing it. Absolutely nothing can justify the amount they charge. Look at any other industry or business and see if you can justify their fees, relative to their costs. You cannot. For got sake they charge $250/hour for the woman in the office pressing GO on a photocopier.
Shocked that 60 minutes Australia is allowing comments?!
As far as I understand, Melissa Caddick used an out-of-the-way, small accounting firm to audit her "financial Statements," so what are the chances of recuperating millions down that road? Sounds like even more money into the lawyers' pockets. Was the accounting firm well insured for its own incompetence, negligence, or fraud?
you are in an AAAMAZING shape Cheryl...
You are such a inspiration. thanks for all your content.
At least it’s now clear where the monster got her personality: straight from her mother and father. What a horrible family.
I would probably be willing to lose a foot to get rid of the attention.
100%
Maybe the rest of her is eaten by sharks 🤷♀️ but who knows
Shit I don't know man, you could lose a foot yes and still get caught, personally I wouldn't do that
I’m shocked the husband and brother were not arrested.
Quite. 🤔
Unbelievable story, hope that the investors will be refunded.
Nice to see comments turned on for this video! Also people just remember, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is! I'll just leave that there.
No need to hand over your money to some small time manager, unless you're seeking impossible returns from your retirement. Put it with Schwab, Fidelity in a target date fund and forget about it.
