The embezzler who duped a community

A solicitor has gone to his grave amid revelations that he fleeced his family, friends and clients of more than $5million to fund a secret double life.

Edmund Fredericks was seen as a pillar of the community until the Law Society discovered the investment funds he had been borrowing were supporting alcohol and gambling addictions.

Law Society receiver Jean Sayer confirmed that since being appointed to Fredericks’s Lidcombe-based practice in August last year, she had become aware of 70 people who had collectively lost $5million – and possibly more.

“The borrowing occurred over several years, although it got much worse over the past 18 months,” Mrs Sayer said.

“Some of the victims were Fredericks’s school friends, others knew him through church, through family or through word of mouth. Some were clients of his law firm but many were actually from his own background: Ukrainian migrants who, in speaking the same language, regarded him as a role model.”

Mrs Sayer warned that while the Law Society possessed a solicitors’ fidelity fund, many victims could end up penniless because Fredericks convinced them to hand over cash.

“A large percentage of the missing millions was delivered in cash and there are many people who, in trusting him, walked away with little to no documentation,” she said.

Fredericks’s web of deceit has shattered countless lives including that of Mark Styles, who is wheelchair-bound after breaking his neck 13 years ago.

Mr Styles, 41, said: “I gave Fredericks $85,000 of my compensation payout to purchase me a farm in the country.

He told me he had located the perfect place near Tamworth. I now know that was a lie to extract more cash from me. I’m now forced to live at my parents’ house, in which I’ve effectively been a prisoner since the accident.”

Fredericks was born in Germany shortly after World War II and moved to Australia with his family when he was young.

He opened Eddie Fredericks & Co in Lidcombe in the early 1970s. During the next 30 years he established a loyal client base and became a popular Catholic Church figure, using his knowledge of law to help hundreds of migrants settle in.

By the time he branched out into investment management five years ago, he controlled the trust of an entire community.

Offering between 12 and 30 per cent interest, he had no shortage of takers.

But in August last year, one of his clients contacted the Law Society, saying a $20,000 investment loan hadn’t been repaid. Two days later, Fredericks’s law certificate was suspended and a receiver was appointed.

In September last year he sold his Sandringham waterfront mansion for $2.6 million, but friends say he continued to drink and gamble heavily.

On February 20, he died of a heart attack, aged 56.

On Wednesday, angry creditors learned of his unadvertised funeral at Rookwood Cemetery.

Retired NSW police officer Ken Sawkins, who lost $26,500, was one silent protester who mingled with mourners.

“I’ve been chasing him since last July,” he said. “Fortunately for him, this was the closest I got.”

Maryse Kutschukian was also present after being forced to take her mother out of an old people’s home. “He stole $12,500 from me and the worst thing was that he knew about my plight,” she said.

Fredericks’s former lawyer Greg Walsh said his client had suffered “a lonely, shameful death”.

WINDY GALE
Another sailor’s ship has set sail.
His friends all knew him as Windy Gale.
A family man who cared for his mates.
As a seaman, he had all that it takes.
Alan served his country but never stood down.
A more compassionate man could not be found.
He was always willing and loyal to a tee,
And he never forgot his love for the sea.
He was a tireless worker who gave his all,
To any ex-service folk within his beck and call.
His tribute to the fallen is quite legendary.
Posting their details so they’re here for posterity.
Alan will be missed by all those who knew him.
But we know to which port, he will be sailing.
All we can do now is pray for fair weather.
Till the time comes when we can all be together.
Bill Charlton.
A mate.

This morning I had a visit from Ray James and Alan Gale who are members of the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia – Macarthur Sub Branch.
Like myself, both Ray an Alan are also ex NSW Police Officers.
They presented Bujustu with a certificate of appreciation for sponsoring the Vietnam Veterans Macarthur Branch.
I try to do around 7K a year in sponsorships, mainly to Macarthur community groups, schools and sports teams. This is one cause I did not hesitate for a second to sponsor.
If you are a business owner looking for a worthy cause to support, get in contact with these guys.
