The documented court record relating to Adrian James Campbell spans fourteen years and encompasses multiple jurisdictions, multiple business names, and multiple sets of victims. What follows is a comprehensive timeline drawn entirely from publicly available court documents and Campbell's own sworn admissions.
2012 — The First Fraud Conviction
The earliest entry in the documented court record involves a fraud conviction in 2012. The precise details of the charges and court are not fully set out in available public records, but the conviction is established beyond doubt: in a corrected affidavit filed with the Federal Court of Australia on 10 August 2026, Campbell "acknowledged that he was convicted for fraud offences in 2012."
A fraud conviction in Australia represents a judicial finding — beyond reasonable doubt — that the accused acted with dishonest intent. It is a criminal conviction, not a civil finding.
