Opes Prime, Mick Gatto's coming for ya!!!

[The Mint Man]

I think this story is worthy of its own thread.

After hearing about one story where someone has lost $1M worth of shares, I turned to my missus and said that if that were me I would be hiring someone to track these guys down in order to make them pay. And I don't mean asic or lawyers if you get my drift.
Well it seems there are others that did lose money in Opes Prime who think exactly like that.
Look out guys

Underworld figure starts collections business
Shannon McRae in Melbourne ​

Melbourne underworld identity Mick Gatto is today travelling overseas to track down cash from a failed investment company on behalf of his private clients - and he promises he has his own methods to make the company pay.

Gatto - one of few figures still alive after Melbourne's bloody gangland war - runs a private company called Arbitrations and Mediations, which he today said "makes problems disappear".

The man who has survived assasination attempts and been chronicled by Channel Nine series Underbelly is trying to recover money for people dudded by the collapse of failed stockbroker Opes Prime.

Hundreds of angry Opes Prime customers are owed more than $500 million after the collapse.

Gatto, who was found by a court to have murdered Carl Williams' right hand man Andrew `Benji' Veniamin in self defence during the bloody gang wars, this morning flew out to Singapore for a series of meetings and negotiations.

He yesterday refused to reveal who he would be meeting or detail the nature of the discussions.

"These Opes Prime clients can take their chances and lose all their money to lawyers and to receivers, or they can take their chances with me," he told The Age.

"The proof is in the pudding with me. I solve problems. . . it's my way or the highway."

Will be interesting to see how things pan out.

By the way if you want to contact arbitrations and mediations for assistance their number is 96503333, being from Melbourne I would say the prefix is 03.

Cheers

This whole debacle has the makings of a great movie.

Truth is stranger than fiction!

What would be a good title for the flick?

 

[The Mint Man]

i bet the arrogance of these directors will ease a bit when they deal with him !!!

gatto is way out of his depth. low 6 figures will buy some pretty impressive grey matter and muscle of ex special forces personel. they would flick mick gatto and his band of drunken drug dealers away like a well rolled boogie.

I'm not sure how well his stand over tatics will work overseas either.

His "contacts" surely wouldn't have as much influence over there and not sure how much he could really intimidate a board of directors, in Melb maybe but overseas? I'm not so sure.

I would put my money of the mick gatto's of the world to get a better result than any lawyer,long overdue the shiny ar5e white shoe brigade get the message that robbing people blind wont be tolerated...(att:asic)

We have seen too many smarties move money here there put in in the wifes name go to jail come home to vacluse...a la adler style.what a dead set joke...

My take on this opes fiasco is they were a sub- contractor(farm out?) of anz's making,which i would assume is not in the contract,so everyone should be gunning for anz.

This intervention by gatto is a sad indictment on the regulators,the opes prime mob should be in jail along with the liars in cnp.

I will watch this event with great interest...
