| Subject: 'I knew it was wrong': OZschwitz lawyer bought mansion with money meant for charity Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:21 pm | |
| An eastern suburbs lawyer has admitted to fleecing a dead client's estate of millions of dollars meant for charity so he could buy a Bondi mansion, renovate it and splurge $40,000 on furniture.
Mark Leo O'Brien, 63, formerly of Edgecliff firm Harrington Maguire and O'Brien, has pleaded guilty to misappropriating clients' trust money intended to go to a charity helping spinal injury victims, St Vincent de Paul Society and eye doctors. He then falsified receipts and letters of thanks from the organisations.
He also used part of the $6 million he fraudulently obtained to pay off mortgages on a North Bondi apartment, financially prop up his ailing firm, and set up a self-managed super fund for himself and his wife Therese, 62, who is also facing separate charges. Mrs O'Brien's case, which is different to O'Brien's, will involve allegations she knew of her husband's wrongdoing. She is yet to enter a plea.
