Police started investigating him after he got bashed by a disgruntled client, and went to the Police.
Not a very smart thing for him to do.

So am I, but the rub is that I have to pay thousands to receive it and I'm always a few dollars short of the required amount, fortunately.

Well, either name ought to ring alarm bells for anyone with any life experience. I guess if they don't twig to the name then they are perfect targets.


... allege he fleeced millions from up to 40 investors, mostly people he knew from where he lived in Oran Park, and also friends and family.

Once again we see how Ponzi schemes are usually affinity frauds.

Coroner has found fraudster Melissa Caddick is deceased but the manner of her death remains unresolved.

More than two years after Melissa Caddick was last seen at her Dover Heights home, a coroner rules she is dead, but the manner of her demise remains unknown. See how the findings unfolded.

Deputy State Coroner Elizabeth Ryan has found Ms Caddick is dead, but the manner of her death remains unresolved.

"I have concluded that Melissa Caddick is deceased. However, a more problematical issue is whether the evidence is sufficient to enable a positive finding as to how she died and when or where this happened."

Our reporters Jamie McKinnell and Isobel Roe are inside the coroner's court as a summary of the findings are read out.

Magistrate Ryan says ASIC suspected Ms Caddick stole in excess of $23 million at the time her home was raided.

"Ms Caddick's clients were shocked and felt a profound sense of betrayal when they discovered that the money they had invested with her had gone.

"To many their losses represented all the money they had saved for their retirement, or for their children's education. The financial and emotional harm that they have suffered will reverberate for many years to come."


Magistrate Ryan says Ms Caddick strived to create the impression of wealth and success, and this was integral to her alleged scheme.

Following the discovery of her crimes, she may have suffered "narcissistic injury," according to evidence presented at the inquest.

"The ASIC investigation and search warrant very likely caused her a catastrophic level of shame and despair," Magistrate Ryan said.

"She may well have reached the conclusion that ending her life was the only option."

Ms Caddick's decomposing foot washing up on a beach 450km south of Sydney became a pivotal moment in the developing case.
The foot encased in a sneaker matched Ms Caddick's DNA, and was found three months after she disappeared.
Magistrate Ryan said this discovery did not mean she had necessarily died.
"Autopsy alone doesn't enable a finding that she is deceased."
But she pointed to inquest evidence to show it was unlikely Ms Caddick had cut off her own foot, or had someone else do it.
"It is most unlikely that Melissa Caddick's foot separated from her body as the result of a deliberate act to sever it."

The adequacy of the police investigation was scrutinised throughout the two-week inquest, in 2022.
One of the first detectives on the scene, Detective Sergeant Michael Kyneur, formed the view early on that Ms Caddick hadn't been harmed by anyone.
"Having regard to all the evidence, I have concluded it was premature to have dismissed this possibility," Magistrate Ryan said.
"One of the matters I have taken into account is the widespread concern which police officers held as to the truthfulness of (her husband) Mr Koletti."
"The investigation ought to have been referred to the homicide squad at an early stage."
Magistrate Ryan said the failure to do this created the risk that crucial information might have been lost.
But she accepted this was only speculation, and an earlier referral may not have resulted in useful evidence.

Narcissistic injury

Narcissistic injury is experienced by narcissists when they receive any kind of criticism. This includes any critique that a narcissist perceived as a slight even if it wasn't meant that way. Injury also occurs when a narcissist is faced with judgment, is held accountable, or when boundaries are placed upon them.8 Nov 2021

The deputy state coroner has concluded that Ms Caddick's husband, Anthony Koletti, chose to make statements that were "simply untrue".
She said he made the statements both to police investigating his wife's disappearance, and to the coroner, throughout the inquest.
His evidence was "riddled" with inconsistencies and confusions, she said.
Magistrate Ryan said this invites the question as to why he had been unwilling to provide a frank account of what took place between November 11 and 13, 2020, before reporting her missing.

"I have concluded ... during (that period) he had some awareness of Ms Caddick's movements over the previous two days, but he chose not to disclose it."

 

[JBowie]

Deputy state coroner Elizabeth Ryan told a hearing on Thursday morning: “I have concluded that Melissa Caddick is deceased” but she was unable to determine how and when she died.

. . .

A forensic pathologist noted there were fractures in the foot, which she said would not have been lethal, but she was unable to conclude “whether this may have been from intentionally jumping, being intentionally pushed, or accidentally falling” from a height or whether the fractures were caused by a direct impact to the foot.

. . .

The inquest heard that Koletti also provided a number of inconsistent answers, one of which was his claim that he hadn’t left the house the previous day when the police knew he had left the house on several occasions.

Ms Caddick's family, along with her husband, claimed that Ms Caddick was seriously mistreated by ASIC and AFP officers raiding her home.
Mr Koletti alleged that his wife died "as a direct result of ASIC's negligence, cruelty and inhumanity," while her mother made a similar claim.
However, the deputy coroner has refuted this, and also dismissed their allegations Ms Caddick was denied food, water or medication during the raid.
"There is no evidence that in the execution of the search warrant, the involved ASIC and AFP officers acted improperly, disregarded the welfare of Ms Caddick or her family, exceeded their powers, or took disproportionate measures to ensure the integrity of the search," she found.

'Fraudster' accused of stealing $23m who had a funeral two years ago now officially dead

Deputy NSW Coroner Elizabeth Ryan hands down her findings after an inquest into the disappearance of Melissa Caddick — the Sydney woman who went missing in 2020.

www.abc.net.au

Magistrate Ryan today said it was "notable" that every police officer who had any significant interaction with Mr Koletti suspected he had knowledge of her movements but concealed it.

She said his evidence at the inquest was "riddled" with inconsistencies and confusions — and when he wasn't creating further inconsistencies, he was attempting to account for them with "opaque and at times, unintelligible explanations".

"The inescapable conclusion I have reached is that throughout the investigation and the inquest Mr Koletti has chosen at times to make statements that are simply untrue," Magistrate Ryan said.
This invited questions as to why he was unwilling to provide a "frank account" of what took place in the 30 hours before he reported her missing, the coroner said.

"I have concluded that during the period 11 to 13 November 2020 he had some awareness of Ms Caddick's movements over the previous two days, but he chose not to disclose it."

Mr Koletti did not give a full and frank account to the court about what happened, Magistrate Ryan concluded.

"The ASIC investigation and search warrant very likely caused her a catastrophic level of shame and despair," Magistrate Ryan said.''

This aspect is the major puzzle for me. That she was so brazen, so relentless in her pursuit of other peoples life savings, how their circumstances were seen by her as a challenge , so utterly determined that she stalked and finally hooked the mother of one of her son's friends at Cranbrook. She burgled her own parents. She deceived her on brother. She actually stole her own housekeepers wages!. She was prepared to damn her own son, at a tender age , to scam money. Not a skerrick of shame or despair there, so it requires me to make a terrific leap of logic to believe that a search warrant by ASIC would provoke a minor level of shame , much less a catastrophic level .

There are people strolling around Sydney today, in full view of the public, quaffing Bollinger by the crateful, having embezzled millions more that Melissa. Not for them the leap off the Heads cliffs. Not a bit of it.

Certainly , I bow to the expertise bought to this judgement, , except for this one possibility. I just can't make that leap! .

Antony is a registered idiot, even his own father called him that, And, a nasty idiot , ..

I believe the narcissistic part. I don't believe the shame bit.

I think the only shame she felt was that her living high lifestyle was coming to an end, and she couldn't face just being an ordinary person.
