🔹 How NAB was tricked into opening a mule business account.
🔹 How 12 Australians lost their life savings to a scam impersonating AMP Bank.
🔹 The Supreme Court case O’Brien vs Supercheap Security—a legal battle for justice.
🔹 The banks, regulators, and laws that allowed this scam to happen.
🔹 Why Australian banks take no responsibility for scams—even when they’re warned.
🔸 NAB, under AUSTRAC orders to stop laundering money, still processed these transactions.
🔸 Fake companies and fraudulent bank accounts are easy to open in Australia.
🔸 Victims rarely get their money back
🔸 In Britain, victims are reimbursed under a mandatory fraud compensation scheme. In Australia, banks fight to avoid paying. Expert Insights From:
