The more than $300k was removed from the RSIPF Exhibition Room at Rove allegedly in October by the suspect. The money was seized by police in several locations during raids and belonged to the One Link— a Ponzi scheme which had been investigated by police in the past year. The case is ongoing.

The money was to be used as an evidence against One Link.

Asked if One Link had raised a formal complaint against RSIPF for the missing money, Mangau said so far not yet. He adds they have the right to do so under law.
