On the balance of probabilities the cash was acquired as a result of or derived from significant criminal activity given the respondent's gang association, prior drug convictions, presence of drugs and paraphernalia, indicia of dealing (notebook, multiple phones), travel consistent with drug activity, and absence of legitimate banking or IR records; accordingly an assets forfeiture order was mandatory under s50 and was made vesting the $200,040 in the Crown.
