Gore was initially arrested on 14 April, 2017, and charged with 12 counts of fraud relating to funds obtained from investors during 2013 and 2014.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) alleged Gore obtained funds from SMSF investors through his role at Arion Financial by representing the investors could invest in debentures, with various promises that included a guaranteed high returns and that the funds could be returned after a short-term period of investment.
Gore was facing three further charges of acting in the management of three corporations (MOGS Pty Ltd, Sleipner Financial Pty Ltd and Arion) whilst disqualified from doing so.
These charges did not form part of the fraud trial and would return to the Queensland Magistrates Court for mention on 20 August, 2021, following delivery of the appeal judgement.
