Financial Scandal Destroys Secret Eden


By Charlie Peel, The Courier-Mail | 23rd Jul 2017

"A SECRETIVE colony for people who wanted to live off the grid in "earthships" has collapsed, leaving a community divided."

"Some out-of-pocket investors have been critical of the community's founders but others remain supportive, threatening The Sunday Mail with a class action should the paper publish an article," the Courier Mail reports.

"The Sunday Mail can reveal what was meant to be a dream Utopia in the forested foothills just over the Queensland-NSW border has turned into a nightmare. 

Villagers paid up to $160,000 each to be part of Bhula Bhula but have now split into squabbling factions as they try to protect or recover their investment."

Google Corp has summarily removed most of the posts on  "Nightcap Nightmare Blog"  in response to a request by lawyer Billy Fitzgerald, Rose Litigation, whose clients are featured in this blog and the book  "Nightmare on Minjugbal" . The posts have been censored because they supposedly violate injunctions imposed by NSW Supreme Court on disenfranchised investor Gi Linda, the co-author and editor of this blog, who is prohibited from imputing fraud to Billy Fitzgerald's clients with regard to their land-share scheme at Mt Burrell that is now called "Nightcap on Minjungbal" . The gag order is based on Judge Fagan's 2019 decision that although more than 20 investors lost life savings when they paid purchase money for land in 2014-16, and received nothing in return, this cannot be described as a " scam ".  Fagan J reasoned that failure to fulfil marketing representations was a consequence of incompetence, and not deception or fraud by Mr Fitzg...
