About the Book

THE BOOK AUSTRALIANS NEEDED BEFORE THEY INVESTED

For over a decade, fraudster Adrian James Campbell operated a series of businesses across Australia and South-East Asia, accumulating a trail of consumer complaints, court convictions and regulatory findings. His victims include everyday Australians who lost their savings to schemes marketed as legitimate investment opportunities.

In a landmark Federal Court judgment handed down on 20 August 2026, the full picture emerged — including the shocking revelation that Campbell filed sworn affidavits in the Federal Court of Australia denying criminal convictions he was later forced to admit on the record.

"The extent of Mr Campbell's criminal history was substantially downplayed … he was convicted … of five charges … for accepting payment and failing to supply goods or services … fined $10,000 and ordered to pay restitution … [and later] pleaded guilty to eleven charges … making false or misleading representations … fined $85,000 and ordered to pay $102,200 in compensation. A conviction was also recorded for those offences. The affidavit further acknowledged that he was convicted for fraud offences in 2012." — Justice Derrington, Federal Court of Australia  |  Campbell v McIntyre (No 2) [2026] FCA 1279, ¶16

This book exists for one reason: so that no more Australians are caught off-guard. Every fact in these pages is sourced directly from court judgments, official transcripts and public regulatory records.
