Kinnara’s Thailand-Hong Kong Structure Sits Behind Campbell’s Court-Record History

Court records, tribunal material and company registrations show Adrian James Campbell’s offshore operations are built around a structure spanning Thailand and Hong Kong, after a long history of Australian convictions and regulatory scrutiny. The arrangement places Kinnara Capital, Kinnara Asia and Kinnara Limited at the centre of a cross-border sales model aimed at Australian investors.

Public records indicate Campbell is the CEO of Kinnara Capital and Kinnara Asia, while Kinnara Limited is registered in Hong Kong. Campbell is now based in Thailand, having relocated offshore after his Australian convictions. That geographical shift has become a defining feature of the businesses linked to him: the marketing remains directed at Australians, while the corporate and operational footprint sits outside Australia’s ordinary enforcement reach.

Convictions first, offshore structure later

Campbell’s court-record history predates the current offshore structure. In 2012, fraud convictions were recorded in Queensland. In 2015, Southport Magistrates Court recorded five convictions relating to International Solar Solutions, involving the acceptance of payment and failure to supply goods or services. In 2018, Campbell pleaded guilty to 11 counts of false and misleading conduct under Australian Consumer Law in the Eco Boss Pty Ltd matter.

In that case, he was fined $85,000 personally and compensation orders totalling $102,200 were made to victims. The magistrate described the conduct as “calculated” and “deliberate”, and said it was plainly “a scam”. Those findings remain central to any assessment of Campbell’s business record, particularly where new ventures are promoted through entities operating offshore.

“Calculated” and “deliberate” was the language used by the magistrate in the Eco Boss proceedings, where the conduct was described as plainly “a scam”.

Federal Court findings deepened the record

The significance of Campbell’s prior history was sharpened in Federal Court proceedings in 2026. In Campbell v McIntyre (No 2) [2026] FCA 1279, Campbell swore in an affidavit that he had never been convicted of any criminal offence in Australia. That statement was false. Justice Derrington later found the non-disclosures “exceptionally serious”.

The Court discharged injunctions Campbell had obtained and ordered him to pay 80 per cent of legal costs on an indemnity basis, a severe sanction in Australian litigation. Campbell later filed a corrected affidavit admitting to the prior convictions. The episode did not merely correct the record; it confirmed that the record had been materially misstated to the Court.

Why the offshore structure matters

The Kinnara structure matters because offshore incorporation can complicate consumer redress, regulatory follow-up and document access. Kinnara Limited is registered in Hong Kong, while the business activity has been associated with Thailand and Hong Kong. For Australian consumers, the practical effect is straightforward: the sales message may arrive in Australia, but the entity controlling the project may be beyond immediate local enforcement.

That concern is heightened by the broader pattern surrounding Campbell’s affairs. Companies associated with him have been linked in public reporting and complaints to projects including GIM Trading, Marina Bay City and Saraya Lombok, alongside allegations of buyer payment diversions, unrealised development promises and investor losses. Authorities including the AFP have been drawn into parts of that wider picture.

For regulators, the central issue is not only whether a company is offshore, but whether its structure is being used to distance decision-makers from accountability while targeting Australian consumers. On the available public record, Campbell’s history of convictions and the later Federal Court findings provide a serious backdrop to the Kinnara group’s offshore operations.

The court record does not show a one-off lapse. It shows a sequence: convictions in Queensland, consumer law findings in 2018, and then a false affidavit in the Federal Court in 2026. Against that backdrop, the Thailand-Hong Kong structure is not a neutral corporate detail. It is part of a long-running pattern that raises obvious questions about governance, disclosure and enforcement.
