Interesting facts
The Great Gold Swindle is a 1984 Australian TV movie based on the Perth Mint Swindle. It was shot on location in Perth. As far as is known, the gold bullion was never recovered - which would have increased in value to well over $1 million by 1987. During the four-week trial the Mickelberg brothers were cross-examined in the witness box for days on end.
