    On the balance of probabilities the court found the JJPTR scheme involved cheating (s420 Penal Code) and that most seized accounts, the property and two vehicles were proceeds or evidence of money laundering under s4(1)(a) AMLATFPUAA; there were no purchasers in good faith; accordingly orders of forfeiture were made except for the 17th respondent's Malayan Banking account which did not contain the sequestered funds and was returned; third party claims for legal fees failed for lack of proprietary interest.
