FEDERAL COURT WIN CLEARS WAY FOR JAMIE McINTYRE TO DEMAND ANSWERS OVER MILLIONS IN UNACCOUNTED-FOR INVESTOR FUNDS
BALI, KABARDENPASAR — LUX Property Group founder Jamie McIntyre has delivered a forceful update concerning Adrian Campbell, Hilton Wood and approximately A$6–7 million in investor funds that LUX alleges remain unaccounted for in connection with the former Marina Bay City development in Lombok.
On 20 August 2026, the Federal Court discharged interim restraints obtained by Mr Campbell against Mr McIntyre. Mr Campbell was also ordered to pay 80% of Mr McIntyre’s costs relating to the interim proceedings.
Mr McIntyre said Mr Campbell had attempted to suppress public discussion of his history while advancing allegations against LUX Property Group.
According to material relied upon by Mr McIntyre, Mr Campbell apologised to the Federal Court for failing to disclose relevant matters when initially seeking orders without notice. Mr McIntyre says Mr Campbell’s subsequent affidavit disclosed important aspects of his criminal and regulatory history in Australia.
“The Federal Court outcome was a major victory for transparency,” Mr McIntyre said.
“Mr Campbell attempted to silence me while failing to disclose highly relevant matters about his own history. Those restraints have now been discharged, and that history can no longer be suppressed.”
Mr McIntyre says that history is relevant because it includes previous fraud-related proceedings and allegations involving cheque forgery, theft and other business activities. It also includes Mr Campbell’s involvement with Eco Boss and GIM Trading—businesses that Mr McIntyre says demonstrate patterns requiring examination in the Marina Bay City matter.
GIM Trading has been the subject of public allegations concerning approximately A$23 million in client funds. Mr Campbell and Mr Wood were previously associated through GIM Trading, despite Mr Wood allegedly being presented to Marina Bay City purchasers as an independent payment-transfer provider.
LUX Property Group says approximately A$10 million was received through accounts associated with Mr Wood. According to financial information attributed to independent auditors, only approximately A$3.18 million was transferred to LUX Property Group.
LUX therefore alleges that approximately A$6–7 million remains unaccounted for.
“Only approximately A$3.18 million of the roughly A$10 million collected was passed to LUX Property Group,” Mr McIntyre said.
“That leaves one unavoidable question: where is the remaining A$6–7 million?”
“Mr Campbell and Mr Wood could address this immediately by releasing the complete bank statements and transaction records. Instead, nearly a year has passed without those records being released or a satisfactory accounting being provided to LUX.”
Information and supporting documents concerning Mr Campbell, Mr Wood and the payment arrangements have been lodged with NSW Police under Event Number E104942732.
Mr Campbell has also withdrawn an Indonesian defamation proceeding brought against Mr McIntyre, according to information relied upon by LUX Property Group.
Earlier in 2026, an Indonesian claim brought by a builder known as Made was dismissed or removed from the court register. Mr McIntyre says allegations made by the builder were subsequently featured in material produced by Kinnara and supplied to Channel Nine’s A Current Affair program.
“The Indonesian proceeding did not result in the builder obtaining the relief he sought, yet his allegations were presented to the Australian public as part of a calculated attack against me and LUX Property Group,” Mr McIntyre said.
Mr McIntyre has served concerns notices relating to publications by 2 parties. The notices allege that the publications contained false and seriously defamatory claims concerning Mr McIntyre, LUX Property Group and Marina Bay City.
The notices further allege that, by publishing and amplifying information supplied by parties hostile to LUX, the media organisations assisted a campaign that Mr McIntyre characterises as protecting or advancing the interests of an alleged criminal syndicate connected with the missing investor funds.
These remain allegations advanced by Mr McIntyre and have not been determined by a court.
“The Australian media repeated allegations supplied by people whose backgrounds, relationships and financial interests should have been thoroughly investigated before publication,” Mr McIntyre said.
“We allege that these stories deflected attention away from the real issue: approximately A$10 million was collected, only approximately A$3.18 million reached LUX, and approximately A$6–7 million remains unaccounted for.”
Two parties are now on formal notice. We will pursue accountability for what we allege were false and gravely damaging publications.”
Mr McIntyre called upon Mr Campbell and Mr Wood to release the complete banking records without further delay.
“If there is an innocent explanation, release the bank statements,” he said.
“If the entire A$10 million was properly applied, show investors where every dollar went. The answer will be found in the banking trail—not through further attacks, blame or public-relations campaigns.”
Despite the dispute, LUX Property Group remains committed to completing the Lombok development, now rebranded as Nesara Bay City.
LUX says it has invested millions of dollars into the project, is progressing the acquisition of more than 20 additional hectares and expects important planning and approval processes to advance during the final quarter of 2026. Construction is intended to recommence following the necessary regulatory approvals.
“We will not allow the alleged conduct of third parties to destroy this development or prevent legitimate LUX clients from receiving what they contracted to receive,” Mr McIntyre said.
“LUX has already completed dozens of villas, studios and hospitality facilities in Bali that are operating and accommodating guests. Our focus remains on delivery, transparency and accountability.”
This case still remain disputed or subject to investigation and legal proceedings. Except for matters established by official court records, statements concerning individuals, media organisations and the handling of investor funds represent allegations advanced by Jamie McIntyre and LUX Property Group.
No criminal liability concerning the reported Lombok payment arrangements has been determined by a court. The submission of information to police does not establish wrongdoing, and all individuals are entitled to the presumption of innocence.
