- Former Billabong boss Matthew Perrin faked his ex-wife’s signature on mortgage documents to use the family home in a AU$13.5 million (NZ$14 million) fraud, a court has been told.
He allegedly used the “large and substantial” property at Surfers Paradise as security for credit from the Commonwealth Bank behind his then-wife’s back.
The house was solely in Nicole Perrin’s name, so he forged her signature on a number of documents to the secure the funds, it is claimed.
