Summary
Alan Bond, "Bondy" as he was known by Prime Ministers and Aussie battlers alike, was unlike the other Australia flamboyant billionaires of the 1980s.
He and his wife Eileen, whom he called Big Red, built their fortune from nothing in the suburbs of Perth, and they still wore their humble beginnings on their sleeves when they socialised with royalty.
Of course, it all came crashing down in those brutal post stock exchange crash days in the early nineties.
Bryce and Alec from our favourite millennial finance podcast, Equity Mates Investing, join us again on Australian True Crime to tell us all about it.

| 0:00.0 | We're bringing Australian True Crime live to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this July, |
| 0:04.3 | and I have to tell you that Brisbane sold out already. |
| 0:07.5 | Good for you, Brisbane, so we've quickly added a second show. |
| 0:10.3 | Now we can't keep adding more shows, so please make sure you get your tickets. Our special guests, |
| 0:15.2 | our forensic criminologist Santee Mallet in Brisbane and Sydney and the one and only Charlie Bizina in |
| 0:19.9 | Melbourne. There'll be a Q&A of course so you can ask your own burning questions on the night but you have to book quickly. |
| 0:26.0 | This is a true crime podcast as the title suggests. |
| 0:29.0 | So please consider this your warning that it's not suitable for children and it probably will |
| 0:33.8 | contain content that may be triggering to some people. Also it's an Australian |
| 0:38.3 | true crime podcast so Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander |

| 1:07.0 | Alan Bond was asked towards the end of his life if it was possible to be both a criminal and a national hero and his his |

| 1:38.7 | Scace, who fled to Meyorca in Spain as his business empire crumbled in 1991. The subsequent battle |
| 1:45.8 | to extradite him back to Australia to face charges became known as the chase |
| 1:50.0 | for skase. The chase was ultimately unsuccessful. He never returned to Australia and he died in |
| 1:55.9 | Dominica where he'd taken up citizenship in 2001. It seems just untidy to devote a show to Christopher's case without making another one focused on the other flamboyette Australian billionaire making waves in the same period Alan Bondy as he was known by Prime Ministers and Ozzy Battlers alike |
| 2:15.8 | faced similar hurdles to Skase but he was in many ways his complete antithesis |
| 2:20.9 | Christopher and his wife Pixikays liked to promote a sophisticated image. |
