Things changed dramatically halfway 2014 when Craig Wright was
notified by the ATO that he had to pay $1,650,000 in GST (the
Australian equivalent of VAT).
In order to *fix* this, Craig asked a Seychelles Corporate Services firm
in October 2014 for a list of pre-incorporated ‘shelf’ companies
available to buy. He choose, ordered and paid for one company called
‘Tulip Trading Ltd’, which they had formed in July 2011. Craig also
bought a domain called TulipTrading.net in the same month. And at the
same time, Craig created several backdated forgeries, like emails and
contracts, to fake a non-existing line of events, as if this Tulip Trust
thing was always part of his Bitcoin dealings.

ATO, of course, noticed these fraudulent events too, and called it a
“scheme” (see following screenshot).
