KEY FINDINGS SUMMARY

Confirmed Connections

  • Martin Bradley is both a lawyer at Norris Ward McKinnon AND Chairman of Grassroots Trust - creating a lawyer-gaming trust overlap
  • Peter Dennehy was both a Coroner AND Infinity Foundation trustee - creating a death/estate-gaming trust overlap
  • Grassroots Trust Central uses Audit Hawke's Bay (Hastings) as auditor - connecting Hamilton gaming trust to Hawke's Bay accounting
  • Mike Knobloch is both a Chartered Accountant AND Director of Grassroots Trust Central - creating an accountant-gaming trust overlap
  • Infinity Foundation (Hastings) merged into Grassroots Trust (Hamilton) after the fraud was discovered - potentially moving assets/operations
  • Norris Ward McKinnon handled receivership of Hawkes Bay Property Enterprises - connecting Hamilton law firm to Hawke's Bay business failures

Unconfirmed But Suspected

  • Langley Twigg may have worked with Grassroots Trust or other gaming trusts
  • Oldershaw may audit gaming trusts or their grant recipients
  • PAMT may receive grants from gaming trusts
  • NIT Network companies may receive grants from gaming trusts

QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION

  • Does PAMT receive any grants from gaming trusts?
  • Do any NIT Network companies receive gaming trust grants?
  • Did Langley Twigg ever work with Infinity Foundation or Grassroots Trust?
  • Did Oldershaw ever audit Infinity Foundation or Grassroots Trust?
  • Who received the $320,357 in improper grants from Infinity Foundation?
  • What happened to Infinity Foundation's assets when it merged with Grassroots?
  • Is there any connection between the 2024 gaming corruption defendants and the investigation entities?
