So that's where the leaked April 2012 FBI report came from!?
Edit: actually - the FBI leak seems to predate this:
Quote
Prosecutor Todd Fuller SC told the court the report, which had been granted an "in-confidence" clearance level by the CMC, was disclosed by Briody to his son between June 6 and September 8, 2012.
It seems likely to be the 'Hidden in Plain Sight' report issued by the Queensland Crime and Misconduct Commision as reported here:

(and noted in the press subgroup here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2012-09-10-scmagazinecomauitnews-aussie-coppers-bedeviled-by-online-contra-108323 )
Does anyone have a copy of the actual report?
