Adrian Campbell’s Disclosed Fraud History, Kinnara’s Money Trail and Links to the $23 Million GIM Trading Collapse Now Face Renewed Scrutiny
By Jamie Mcintyre
A Federal Court attempt to keep explosive allegations about the Marina Bay City project in Lombok out of public view has suffered a major setback, with the Court discharging interim injunctions against Australian entrepreneur Jamie McIntyre and awarding him 80% indemnity costs for the relevant interlocutory proceedings.
The decision means a 52-minute investor update and nine previously removed articles concerning Adrian Campbell, Kinnara-linked entities and millions of dollars in investor funds may be republished.
The restraints had been in place since May, preventing the public circulation of material raising serious questions about money collected from Marina Bay City investors and how much ultimately reached the Indonesian project developer.
Those questions are now firmly back in the public arena.
Justice Derrington discharged the interim restraints on 20 August 2026. The orders had originally been imposed on 21 May and extended on 30 June.
In addition to lifting the restraints, the Court ordered that Mr McIntyre receive 80% of his costs for the relevant interlocutory steps on an indemnity basis, with leave to have those costs taxed immediately.
The injunctions had forced the removal of a video titled “Investor Update for Affected Kinnara Clients from Marina Bay City Buyout” and nine articles identified in Schedule A of the Court’s orders. The material had appeared on http://marinabay.city, http://businessreviewasia.news and http://truthtube.video.
The orders had also restrained Mr McIntyre from republishing material conveying representations listed in Schedule B and required him to identify and pursue the removal of copies appearing on platforms outside his direct control.
Those restrictions have now been discharged.
CAMPBELL’S CRIMINAL HISTORY RETURNS TO THE SPOTLIGHT
The Court’s decision places renewed scrutiny on Adrian Campbell and the prior fraud convictions and broader criminal history disclosed in affidavit material filed in the proceeding.
Mr McIntyre alleges that Mr Campbell failed to provide full and frank disclosure of his relevant history when initially seeking urgent ex parte orders and was later required to address that history in evidence before the Court.
The disclosures raise an obvious question: why should Australian investors, journalists and authorities treat the disappearance of millions of dollars as an ordinary commercial disagreement when a central figure’s own evidence reveals a history that includes prior fraud convictions?
Mr McIntyre alleges the Marina Bay City transactions bear disturbing similarities to the earlier Eco Boss matter, for which he says Mr Campbell was convicted in 2018.
Mr Campbell has not been found by a court to have taken the missing Marina Bay City funds. Responsibility for any missing money remains disputed and subject to investigation and active legal proceedings.
But the lifting of the publication restraints means those questions—and the evidence behind them—can no longer be kept from public examination through the interim orders.
