“Put Up or Shut Up”: Jamie McIntyre Drops A$1 Million Challenge as Kinnara Scandal Deepens
In a dramatic escalation of the Marina Bay City Lombok dispute, Lux Property Group founder Jamie McIntyre has issued a blunt ultimatum to Kinnara’s leadership:
Prove the money wasn’t diverted—or stop denying it.
Backed by a A$1 million reward, McIntyre is challenging anyone to produce conclusive evidence that millions of dollars from Australian investors were NOT diverted away from the Marina Bay City project.
⸻
The Core Allegation
At the center of the storm is a serious and growing claim:
That investor funds—paid by buyers who believed they were purchasing villas within Marina Bay City—were allegedly redirected into entities outside the legitimate project structure, including companies said to be controlled by Kinnara CEO Adrian Campbell.
McIntyre alleges that Hilton Wood, CFO of Kinnara, facilitated or executed these transactions under Campbell’s direction.
⸻
A Pattern Emerging?
The controversy deepens with claims this is not an isolated incident.
McIntyre alleges that Hilton Wood has now been involved alongside Adrian Campbell in two separate companies where tens of millions of dollars have allegedly been diverted and disappeared overseas.
One of those companies: GIM Trading.
The collapse of GIM Trading saw approximately A$23 million allegedly lost by Australian investors, many of them elderly retirees.
An investigation by Australia’s national broadcaster, the ABC, previously examined the case—where a leading cybercrime investigator, Ken Gamble, described the operation in stark terms:
“It was one of the most calculated scams he has ever seen in Australia.”
⸻
Following the Money Across Borders
According to McIntyre, emerging intelligence suggests a possible connection between past and present allegations.
It is believed that Lux Property Group has been sharing information with Australian investigators, who are now examining whether:
•Funds missing from the GIM Trading collapse
•And funds allegedly diverted from Marina Bay City
may have ultimately flowed into the same destination.
That destination, McIntyre claims, is a development in Lombok known as:
“Saraya”
A project located near Marina Bay City.

Investigators Circling
According to McIntyre, regulators and investigators are now exploring options that could include:
•Tracing international fund flows
•Linking asset ownership structures
•And potentially seizing assets if proven to be connected to misappropriated investor funds
The goal: recovering money for affected investors.

The $1 Million Challenge Still Stands
Despite the expanding allegations, McIntyre says the issue remains simple:
If no money was diverted… show the proof.
“This isn’t complicated,” he said.
“Produce the bank records, the transaction trails, and the full accounting. One million dollars says you can’t.”
⸻
Investors Demand Clarity
Behind the headlines are investors—many of them Australian—who believed they were buying into a premium Lombok development.
They now face one critical question:
Did their money go into the project they were promised… or somewhere else entirely?
⸻
Final Word
McIntyre says the time for statements has passed.
“This is about accountability,” he said.
“One million dollars says the truth is in the bank statements.
Now let’s see them.”
