Firepower sold investors a fuel pill that did not work, helped by Austrade's credibility

The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Counterparty existence
Would have visited the claimed offices.
Can mislead when: Real companies can be used as pass-throughs. Existence does not prove a real trade, so C6 and C7 still apply.
Document authenticity / direct pull
Would have demanded independent test results.
Can mislead when: The company can refuse consent, and a refusal is itself a flag. Some banks and co-op banks are not on AA yet.
Regulatory & litigation records
Would have found ASIC's investigation.
Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
