Bra Boy Surf Gangster’s Family Clash Over $30-million Fortune | A wild story of drugs + excess spanning Bali + Australia

Somehow the wild story of the life and death of Cade Dallas, member of the Bra Boys as well as the Laskar Bali (the “Bali Army” gang), had escaped us. It’s one of the more fascinating and tragic stories to come out of that scene since the 2007 doc movie. Read up on it.

Meanwhile since his early un-autopsied death in 2013 his wives, sons, and mother have all been battling over his fortune, which is estimated to be worth between $30k and $30-million. A big discrepancy probably due to some of the shady origins of the money, but much of it was due to a retail empire ‘Somewhere’ that ran between Bali and Australia.

Sample:

“HIS surf gang inspired a Home and Away storyline but the life, death and $30 million estate of Bra Boys member Cade Dallas has sparked a soap opera of its own in court.

The Supreme Court will this week sift through allegedly fake signatures, invalid divorces and Islamic religious law to determine who controls Dallas’ clothing empire in Bali.

The late surfer’s Adelaide-based widow, Veny Amelia, and son Keanu are suing his mother, Kerrie, over Dallas’ final, handwritten will — which he signed with a smiley face.

They accuse Mrs Dallas of funding a “lavish” lifestyle with her son’s fortune, but she says the duo have scandalised her good name for years without “a skerrick” of proof.”
