ASIC - zero regulation regarding insolvencies as it is not in the best interests of Australia? 682 of these companies in this article were probably trading insolvent - ZERO investigation by ASIC. "The legal threshold for proving insolvent trading is very high" - so that's the excuse to do nothing! It's not just builders, the security industry is plagued by this. One company recently went down, $800K is the staff super, $4-5 million in taxes unpaid - three to four new companies appear using the same name, but VIC/QLD/NSW tacked on the end and off they go again, winning Government jobs, doing horrifying works (because all the other regulators are asleep as well), and who looses? Australians! The Governments have to fix the work they do = more tax for you and I, their employees go into retirement with thousands missing, and the industries lose talent and skill because they are smart to leave and go get paid properly for what they do! Always 20-30% cheaper - always able to do that because they don't have the 30-40% tax/super implications the rest of us have, let alone the desire to do the job right. The message from the Government is clear to the White Collar criminals - do what you want, as we won't do anything to stop you - further, the government will actively promote the white collar crims over the rest who try to do the right thing - because today, right now, they are the cheapest, and Government can hide the cost later. BOTH sides of politics support this existing system; what we really need are politicians that have Australia's best interests as its priority. It is not going to happen when these white-collar criminals can donate and rub shoulders with the political parties and political elite. You work for who pays you right? the $200-400K salary pales in comparison to the millions donated each year by third parties to our politicians and parties. Is there a reason the regulators do nothing? As a start, they are underfunded, undersupported, and in some cases, attacked by the political parties that control them. The real question is; is this something that should be addressed in Australia, or are we happy with the current state of affairs with our regulators, and this is just a storm in a teacup we should continue to ignore? https://lnkd.in/g99GKjgZ

"Fraud matters are delicate and effective crisis-management is paramount to preserve evidence and avoid tipping off potential fraudsters who might attempt to put assets beyond the reach of the putative claimant. Victims of fraud should consider the possibility of obtaining asset freezing orders and search orders – which Australian courts are willing to grant." One of our amazing speakers, Trevor Withane (卫卓恩), for February's Asset Recovery International was recently interviewed by The Legal 500 (Legalease), about his work both in Australia and abroad. Join us in February to both meet Trevor and hear his amazing insights during the 'Big fraud, ordinary victims' panel.

#Guiliani creditor efforts annecdote of why entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals should have plan to protect assets from creditors s part of wealth management - when trouble starts the “vulture” culture sets in. The value of claims in civil proceedings for missteps can be other worldly leading many to think the punishments may not fit the crime- but once a judgement is final — assets can be up for grabs and exceed net worth leaving the defendant penniless. Would coulda shoulda doesn’t protect assets from judgement creditors so planning ahead is critical. States like #Delawareand Wyoming have well established trust law that may allow for better asset protection then other states. Setting aside political stripe and whether liability is justified- it can be difficult if not impossible to protect assets with broad success once civil suits begin. #wealthmanagement #assetprotection

Here’s the latest on the legal saga involving bankrupt Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) and container shipping: After filing claims totaling $31.7M against ocean carrier OOCL on April 27, BBBY filed claims totaling $7.7 million against Yang Ming on Tuesday. In addition, the world’s largest ocean carrier, MSC, confirmed in a recent court filing that BBBY is seeking “tens of millions of dollars of damages” (it hasn’t filed a legal claim against the carrier yet; it’s just threatening to do so if MSC doesn’t hand over the money). And that may not be the end of it. Court filings show BBBY had contracts with four other ocean carriers. Meanwhile, BBBY is in the process of liquidation and its amended bankruptcy plan specifically cites a strategy to pursue “Shipping and Price Gouging Claims,” with 80% of any court winnings from this strategy to go to first-lien and debtor-in-possession lenders, and the other 20% to go to BBBY or its successor entity. This will take a long time to litigate, and the attorney fees will pile up, fueled by the collection attempt of the BBBY bankruptcy administrator, which inherently has no concerns about burning bridges across the ocean carrier community, as BBBY is liquidating and no longer imports cargo. See story for details from all the latest court filings: https://lnkd.in/d-7VGmww
