Businessman? You mean conman

Good riddance

Good riddance to a piece of human garbage

Why are these super rich Jews always so slimy

normanswan I was taught if you can’t say something nice say nothing. So…

“controversial” That’s an interesting way to say he was a crook.

He was my doctor when i was a kid in Liverpool. Was lucky enough to have a seat in the pantera and give it a rev.

What a ride he had. A colourful life and some real dogs in his later years.

A man of consistently impeccable ethics… and taste… 😂🤣

Australia's average of creepy levels has lowered by 5.7 after this news..

Sorry to see you go, but what a ride....

No great loss...

Oh...

'Colorful Sydney businessman' is code for rogue, criminal and shady af.

He was an original.

Not a bad innings, according to newscomauHQ

Thanks for the memories Geoff

Tax his wealth 80% over 10mill.

One of a kind 👍

Creepy

A late birthday present for Gabi Grecko.
