On the balance of probabilities the respondent unlawfully benefited from significant criminal activity during the relevant period; the statutory presumption in s53 applied to the value of $18,790 advanced by the Commissioner and was not rebutted; there were no asset forfeiture deductions under s54 and no undue hardship claims, therefore a profit forfeiture order for the value $18,790 is to be made and the cash seized ($15,555) is to be realised to satisfy the order.
