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
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.

entering into financial, advisory, or investment partnerships without verified

Afghanistan.

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

actively involved in Mirage RV and other business operations in Queensland. -

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