3. Disqualified Person - Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) George Leonard Leamey, Banned and Disqualified on November 22, 2011

4. Company Associations and Roles

- International Ventures Pty Ltd (active since 2019): George Leamey listed as Director & Secretary - 4x4 Engineering (active sole trader): Operating in Healesville VIC - Pitch VC Pty Ltd: Registered May 2018, deregistered October 2018 - IBS Consortia Pty Ltd (formerly Mirage Group Pty Ltd): Associated with Mirage RV, deregistered in 2016 - Labour Platform Pty Ltd: Deregistered 2016, linked to Bronwyn Leamey and Peter John Nulty, under voluntary liquidation

5. Legal Affidavit Summary

An affidavit dated around 2015-2016 indicates that George Leamey declared himself as an undischarged bankrupt, without assets or employment, living in rental accommodation in Croydon, VIC. This statement contrasts with concurrent claims of running investment operations across Australia and the UK.

6. Risk Profile and Reputation

- Extended bankruptcy period (2009-2016) with documented objection for non-compliance - Involvement in multiple short-lived or deregistered companies - Connected to Peter John Nulty and Bronwyn Leamey through entities linked to consumer complaints and liquidations - Public claims about military service and business acumen lack independent verification - Documented involvement in the Mirage RV case, including affidavit-confirmed consulting role

7. Reputation Risk Assessment
Given the long bankruptcy period, lack of transparency, history of deregistered entities, and affiliations with individuals convicted or involved in high-risk corporate actions, George Leamey presents a high reputational and operational risk.

Reputation Risk Score: HIGH

8. Recommendations
Avoid entering into financial, advisory, or investment partnerships without verified third- party due diligence - Legal counsel should be engaged if any prior agreements exist - All claims made by the subject (e.g. military, venture capital, international deals) should be independently verified - Be aware of potential shell entities or restructured brands linked tosame network

9. Supplement – Alleged Military Service in Afghanistan
George Leamey claims on his personal website (georgeleamey.com) that he served in the Australian Army and was injured multiple times during deployments in Afghanistan.

Fact check and timeline analysis:

The Australian Army was actively involved in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021, with combat operations concluding in 2014 and advisory roles continuing until 2021. - George Leamey was born in December 1963. He would have been 38 years old in 2001 and 51 in 2014. - Between 2013 and 2015, Mr. Leamey was documented as actively involved in Mirage RV and other business operations in Queensland. - He also filed an affidavit during this period as an undischarged bankrupt, claiming no income or employment.

No independent records, veteran registries, or public defence databases confirm his military service or injuries.

Conclusion: The claim of active military service in Afghanistan – particularly involving injury in combat – is inconsistent with documented business and bankruptcy records during the same timeframe. Without official military verification, the claim remains unsubstantiated and likely misleading.

10. Chronological Timeline & Inconsistency Analysis

 This section outlines a structured timeline of events and declared activities provided by George Leonard Leamey, with the purpose of identifying logical inconsistencies and unresolved overlaps in his personal and professional claims.

 1. 1963 – Birth - George Leonard Leamey is born in December 1963 in the UK.

 2. 1987–1994 – Claimed MBA Studies (RMIT University, Melbourne) - Leamey claims to have pursued and completed an MBA at RMIT University over a span of 7 years. - This unusually extended period is not supported by institutional confirmation. - Age: 24–31 during this timeframe.

 3. Late 1980s–1990s – Alleged Military Career (Self-Declared) - In various biographies, Leamey refers to military service in the Australian Army. - No official or verifiable records exist. The timeline conflicts with full-time academic enrollment. - No documented enlistment, injury, or discharge status is available in public or veteran databases.

 4. 2000s – Early Entrepreneurial Activity (Undocumented) - Sparse information is available regarding activity from 1995 to 2008. - Some claims refer to international business development and early ventures, without corporate records.

 5. November 2009 – Bankruptcy Filing (Australia) - Filed for voluntary bankruptcy on 30 Nov 2009. - Residence: Mooroolbark VIC. - Declared unemployed; held no significant assets or property.

 6. 2010–2016 – Bankruptcy Period - Prohibited from acting as a director or managing a corporation. - Objection filed by Official Trustee (under S149D(1)(d)) for non-compliance with disclosure. - Bankruptcy discharged by law on 28 July 2016.

 7. 2011–2013 – ASIC Disqualification - Disqualified from 23 Nov 2011 to 22 Nov 2013 from holding corporate office under ASIC regulations. - Disqualification overlaps with bankruptcy period.

 8. 2013–2015 – Mirage RV Activity - Named in relation to camper trailer business (Mirage RV, IBS Consortia Pty Ltd). - Involved alongside Bronwyn Leamey and Peter John Nulty. Participated in company affairs while legally bankrupt and disqualified.

 9. 2015–2016 – Legal Affidavit Declaration - In sworn affidavit, Leamey confirms he remains bankrupt, unemployed, living in rental housing. - No mention of military status or higher education credentials.

 10. 2018 – Short-lived Company: Pitch VC Pty Ltd - Registered in May, deregistered by October 2018


 
11. 2019 – New Company: International Ventures Pty Ltd - Leamey becomes Director & Secretary. - Launches claims about international venture capital operations. Claims military background and elite networks during communications.

 12. 2020s – Online Presence - Active via personal websites and platforms (f6s, georgeleamey.net). - No consistent record of academic or military verification.

Conclusion:
The declared military service overlaps directly with periods of declared academic study (MBA,1987–1994), and later with business and bankruptcy timelines (2013–2016). There is no verifiable documentation supporting academic, military, or investment credentials. Several corporate engagements occurred during periods of legal disqualification and bankruptcy, in direct violation of regulatory prohibitions. The timeline reveals numerous factual inconsistencies and suggests a high probability of misrepresentation across multiple biographical claims.
