On the balance of probabilities the $7,020 cash was tainted property because the respondent had been convicted of significant methamphetamine offending with an assessed unlawful benefit of $5,016,000, the cash was found bundled and concealed in a manner consistent with drug-dealing proceeds, similar cash had previously been found, no one claimed or explained the source, and statutory s50(4) requirements were met; accordingly an asset forfeiture order was made.
