A detailed WikiGenius profile has brought together an extensive collection of public records concerning Australian businessman Adrian James Campbell, documenting fraud convictions, Australian Consumer Law offences, regulatory prosecutions and his subsequent business activities across Southeast Asia.
The profile portrays Campbell not merely as a businessman who encountered an isolated commercial dispute, but as a repeat offender whose record spans multiple businesses, numerous convictions and more than a decade of legal controversy.
Most significantly, many of the central facts recorded by WikiGenius are confirmed in a 2026 judgment of the Federal Court of Australia. That judgment records Campbell’s residence in Thailand, his previous fraud and consumer-law convictions, and his failure to disclose important information when initially seeking an urgent injunction against Australian property developer Jamie McIntyre.
A criminal record Campbell initially denied
In May 2026, Campbell commenced Federal Court proceedings against McIntyre concerning online publications accusing Campbell of fraud, misappropriation and other misconduct.
Campbell sought urgent orders compelling McIntyre to remove articles and videos and preventing their further publication.
In an affidavit filed on 11 May 2026, Campbell swore that he had never been prosecuted in Australia for business practices, had never been convicted of a criminal offence and had not been involved in a 2018 case resulting in fines or compensation orders.
Those statements were contradicted by Campbell’s own subsequent affidavit.
According to the Federal Court judgment, Campbell filed a corrective affidavit on 10 August 2026 acknowledging:
* Fraud convictions in 2012.
* Five Australian Consumer Law convictions in 2015.
* Guilty pleas to 11 further Australian Consumer Law charges in 2018.
* A recorded conviction arising from the 2018 proceedings.
* Personal fines, restitution and compensation orders exceeding $215,000 across the 2015 and 2018 matters.
Justice Derrington found that Campbell’s criminal history had been “substantially downplayed” when the injunction was originally obtained.
The Court ultimately discharged the injunctions and ordered Campbell to pay 80 per cent of McIntyre’s costs of the interlocutory application on an indemnity basis. The judgment is particularly important because it provides an official judicial record of convictions Campbell had initially denied under oath.
The Federal Court did not make a finding of perjury. However, it found that Campbell had failed to disclose three significant matters: his criminal history, his residence in Thailand and the true nature of the approximately $25 million in losses he claimed had been caused by McIntyre’s publications.

The 2012 fraud convictions
The WikiGenius profile states that Campbell was convicted of fraud offences in 2012.
That fact is supported by Campbell’s corrective affidavit, as recorded in the Federal Court judgment. The judgment does not provide the complete factual circumstances underlying those earlier offences, but it confirms that Campbell acknowledged the convictions.
This directly contradicts his original sworn assertion that he had never been convicted of any criminal offence.
International Solar Solutions: payments taken but systems not supplied
Campbell’s next documented convictions arose from his involvement with International Solar Solutions.
On 17 July 2015, Campbell was convicted in the Southport Magistrates Court of five Australian Consumer Law charges relating to accepting payments without supplying the promised goods or services.
The matters involved customers who paid for solar systems that were not supplied or installed.
Campbell was personally fined $10,000 and ordered to pay $18,355 in restitution.
The significance of these convictions lies in the commercial pattern identified by the prosecution: customers paid money for products or services that were ultimately not delivered.
Eco Boss described by a magistrate as a “deliberate” scam
The most serious publicly documented prosecution involved Eco Boss Pty Ltd, a business that sold territorial distribution licences for commercial tobacco-smoke detection equipment.
Campbell and co-director Samuel Edward Newnham represented that Eco Boss held exclusive Australian distribution rights for products manufactured by the United Kingdom company Radal Technology Ltd.
However, evidence presented following an investigation by Queensland’s Office of Fair Trading showed that no such agreement existed. Radal had reportedly informed Campbell of that fact, yet Eco Boss continued accepting deposits from prospective distributors.
The company collected approximately $204,400 in deposits from 11 consumers.
On 12 March 2018, Campbell and Newnham pleaded guilty to 11 counts of making false or misleading representations under the Australian Consumer Law.
The sentencing magistrate described the conduct as deliberate, dishonest and a scam. Queensland’s Office of Fair Trading reportedly characterised it as calculated and manipulative.
Campbell was personally fined $85,000 and ordered to pay $102,200 in compensation. Convictions were formally recorded against him. Eco Boss itself was fined $250,000.
This was therefore not simply a failed company or a disagreement over contractual performance. It was a prosecuted scheme involving false claims about commercial rights the company did not possess.
Earlier theft and deception charges
The WikiGenius profile also refers to Campbell’s appearance in the Wodonga Magistrates Court in 2009 in connection with allegations involving more than 345 metres of Telstra underground copper cable.
According to the secondary source cited by WikiGenius, Campbell faced charges including theft, obtaining property by deception and handling stolen goods. Police reportedly opposed changes to his bail because he was already on bail in Queensland over allegations concerning stolen cabling and forged cheques.
These are historical charge allegations rather than convictions established by the Federal Court judgment and should be described accordingly unless the original Victorian court records are obtained.
From Australia to Bali and Thailand
WikiGenius traces Campbell’s business activities from Shepparton and the Gold Coast to Bali and Thailand.
His ventures reportedly included:
* International Solar Solutions.
* International LED Solutions.
* The Puri Rama Resort and Troppo Zone in Bali.
* Eco Boss Pty Ltd.
* Kinnara Capital and Kinnara Asia.
* PT Kinnara Capital Indonesia.
* Indonesian property developments associated with Marina Bay City and Saraya Beach Resort Lombok.
The Federal Court judgment confirms that Campbell was living in Thailand by 2026. It found that the Court had initially been wrongly led to believe it was dealing with a dispute between two Australian residents when Campbell actually resided in Thailand and McIntyre resided in Indonesia.
It would go beyond the available judgment to state as an established fact that Campbell is “hiding” in Thailand. What can safely be stated is that he lives there and initially failed to disclose that fact when seeking urgent relief from an Australian court.
The failed attempt to suppress public warnings
Campbell’s 2026 Federal Court application sought to remove publications containing serious allegations about his criminal history and business conduct.
He initially succeeded in obtaining an interim injunction after an ex parte hearing—meaning McIntyre was not present to answer Campbell’s evidence at that stage.
Once McIntyre appeared and placed additional evidence before the Court, serious deficiencies emerged.
Justice Derrington identified three significant non-disclosures:
- Campbell’s residence in Thailand had not been properly disclosed.
- Campbell presented approximately $25 million in alleged lost sales as his personal loss when any such losses were actually said to have been suffered by separate companies that were not parties to the case.
- Campbell substantially downplayed his criminal history despite the publications themselves concerning allegations about that history.
The Court found those matters sufficiently significant to discharge the injunctions. It also imposed an indemnity-costs order covering 80 per cent of McIntyre’s costs associated with the application.
The Court did not finally determine the truth of every allegation made against Campbell, and it refused McIntyre’s request to stay the entire proceeding. Nevertheless, its findings concerning Campbell’s convictions, residence and material non-disclosures are now part of the public judicial record.
New allegations involving offshore property ventures
The WikiGenius profile also summarises more recent allegations involving Kinnara-linked property ventures in Indonesia.
These include claims that buyer payments intended for the Marina Bay City development were directed to offshore or third-party accounts and that substantial amounts were never transferred to the Indonesian developer responsible for delivering the properties.
The profile further refers to complaints concerning the Saraya Beach Resort Lombok project, including disputed land rights, allegedly misleading promotional material and claims that villas sold to purchasers have not been completed.
Unlike Campbell’s Australian convictions, these newer allegations have not all been finally determined by a court. They should therefore be clearly identified as allegations made by complainants, investors, developers or consumer-warning publications.
The WikiGenius page also mentions a fraud complaint lodged with the NSW Police Force in August 2026 concerning alleged offshore fund movements. The filing of a police complaint does not itself establish criminal guilt, and there is no indication in the cited material that Campbell has been convicted over those recent property allegations.
Campbell has denied allegations made against him in connection with his more recent business activities.
Questions surrounding GIM Trading
WikiGenius additionally refers to scrutiny of Campbell’s alleged connections with GIM Trading, an investment operation associated with approximately $23 million in Australian investor and superannuation money reportedly going missing offshore.
Campbell has denied involvement in GIM Trading, and the WikiGenius profile acknowledges that no court has made a finding holding him liable in relation to that matter.
That distinction is important. Any discussion of GIM Trading must be presented as an area of alleged association and investigation—not as another proven conviction.
A documented pattern investors cannot ignore
The strongest aspect of the WikiGenius compilation is not its use of dramatic language. It is the documented chronology emerging from Australian court proceedings:
* Campbell acknowledged fraud convictions from 2012.
* He was convicted of five consumer-law offences in 2015 for accepting payments without supplying goods or services.
* He pleaded guilty to another 11 offences in 2018 involving false or misleading representations.
* A magistrate described the Eco Boss operation as deliberate and a scam.
* In 2026, Campbell initially denied having any criminal convictions.
* He later corrected that evidence and acknowledged his prior record.
* The Federal Court discharged injunctions obtained following significant non-disclosures.
* The Court ordered Campbell to pay 80 per cent of McIntyre’s relevant costs on an indemnity basis.
* The judgment confirms that Campbell resides in Thailand.
The unresolved allegations involving Kinnara, Marina Bay City, Saraya Lombok and offshore buyer funds require further investigation and judicial determination. But Campbell’s earlier convictions are not rumours, online gossip or merely accusations made by commercial opponents. They are matters recorded in Australian court proceedings.
WikiGenius publication raises fresh due-diligence warning
WikiGenius is an independently operated platform and should not be confused with Wikipedia or an official government register. Its profile should be treated as a compilation whose individual claims must be checked against the cited sources.
Nevertheless, its publication has gathered a substantial body of material into a single chronology that prospective investors, commercial partners and regulators can examine.
For anyone considering transferring money to Campbell, Kinnara or an associated offshore venture, the essential due-diligence questions are now unavoidable:
* Which legal entity is receiving the money?
* In which country is the receiving account located?
* Does that entity own or control the underlying land or asset?
* Are claimed licences, distribution rights and development approvals genuine?
* Is the contracting company the same company responsible for delivery?
* Are purchaser funds protected or independently controlled?
* Have Campbell’s previous convictions and compensation orders been disclosed?
* What legal recourse will investors have if money is transferred offshore?
Campbell is entitled to respond to every unresolved allegation concerning his present ventures. But he cannot reasonably dismiss his established criminal and regulatory history as fabricated. His own corrective affidavit, as recorded by the Federal Court, acknowledges the convictions he originally denied.
The WikiGenius profile therefore provides a stark warning: investors should independently verify every representation, contract, bank account and claimed asset before transferring funds to Campbell or any associated company.
