On the balance of probabilities the Court found both sums of cash were derived from significant criminal activity (methamphetamine dealing) based on their association with drug indicia, links to the respondents by CCTV, forensic evidence, phone/text analysis, bank deposit patterns and prior guilty pleas; accordingly the cash constituted tainted property and an assets forfeiture order was mandatory under s50(1).
