Fugitive transport manager sent message after crypto transfer
Meshel Chellew told the inquiry that she did not know the cryptocurrency transfers were being made to an account Helmy was the beneficiary of. “I didn’t even think,” she said.
She confirmed that she became aware only after she had an argument with her husband. He told her they would lose work with Transport for NSW if she did not transfer the cryptocurrency. She did not recall the date of the argument.
