On the balance of probabilities the seized cash ($59,400 and $13,710) was tainted because Mr Nicol's convictions for serious drug offences, absence of legitimate income and inability to accumulate such sums lawfully supported the inference the cash derived from sale of methamphetamine; therefore an asset forfeiture order under s 50 was required and made.
