Former KPMG deal maker turned publican Jon Adgemis transferred more than $9 million out of companies that were part of his hotel empire in the year before they collapsed, according to an administrator’s report that also accuses him of trading while insolvent.
Mr Adgemis, a high-flying Sydney businessman known for a lavish lifestyle and glamorous girlfriends, built a hospitality empire spanning more than 20 pubs, bars and hotels, including Oxford House and The Norfolk in Sydney, Karen Martini’s Saint George and Guy Grossi’s Puttanesca.
