Stockbroker and Instagrammer Tyson Scholz has been spotted rapidly selling off high-end goods online, just weeks after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
A Facebook account that appears to be the Gold Coast-based Scholz, dubbed ‘ASX Wolf’ on Instagram, has listed numerous pieces of furniture and appliances on Facebook Marketplace in recent weeks.
Most of the items are listed well below their purported retail value.
They include an all-white seven-piece lounge suite from Australian brand Lounge Lovers, which Scholz claims was worth $7000 but advertised at $3900 before being reduced again to $3510.
Other items included a mahogany grand piano – which the advertisement claims is about 80 years old - initially listed for $10,000 and later dropped to $2000.
Scholz listed his $4.6 million waterfront mansion at Sanctuary Cove earlier this year – only weeks before a court-ordered warrant was issued for his arrest.
The Instagrammer is yet to appear in court on charges laid last June. They include fraud, making false declarations, and speeding.
Police allege Scholz was caught speeding in a rented Ferrari, then falsely claimed it was his partner driving and had the ticket reissued to her in April last year.
He also faces other unrelated traffic charges.
Scholz was again absent when his case was mentioned in Southport Magistrates Court in late March.
His former legal representatives at Fraser Lawyers withdrew from the matter, saying Scholz said he was overseas when they last spoke and had not been contactable since.
Court documents confirm the warrant for Scholz’s arrest issued on March 23 is still active.
Scholz boasts more than 20,000 followers on his private Instagram account, where he describes himself as a global equity trader with a “market-leading” trading course.
His recent Facebook Marketplace ads make up much of his recent social media presence.
Scholz’s fiancee Sophie Andersen – who herself has more than 19,000 followers on Instagram – has been far more active in showing off the pair’s lavish lifestyle.
Posts between August and December last year document the couple’s travels through Europe, including swanky resorts on the Greek islands and sojourns to Disneyland Paris.
Scholz is yet to appear in any of Ms Andersen’s Instagram posts in 2023.
No future court date has been set.
