Bill Vlahos' laptop with details of missing $194m in firebombed car, court hears Was ordered to produce his laptop on Tuesday: Bill Vlahos. A laptop computer belonging to racing identity Bill Vlahos, which could reveal the whereabouts of $194 million linked to a stricken punters' club, was destroyed when his car was firebombed, a court has heard. Mr Vlahos' punting club, The Edge, has collapsed and various investors, including a syndicate called Aloga, are clamouring to have their money returned. A meeting of members of The Edge on Sunday was told that more than 1000 people could be affected by the implosion of the scheme. Sources told Fairfax Media paper losses run up by members of The Edge could reach $500 million. In the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday, Robert Dick, SC, for Aloga, said Mr Vlahos had been ordered to produce his laptop on Tuesday. But Mr Dick has since been told that the laptop was inside the car that was "blown up or set alight" at Mr Vlahos' property at Connewarre, south-west of Melbourne, on Sunday evening. Mr Vlahos was allegedly assaulted and was treated at the scene for minor injuries. Mr Dick said the explanation was akin to "the dog ate my homework" and said the material on the computer could possibly be accessed by other means, such as through Mr Vlahos' internet service provider. David Studdy, SC, for Mr Vlahos, said he would no longer be acting for Mr Vlahos. The racing identity has also parted ways with his solicitors. On Friday, Mr Vlahos told the court an account containing $194 million he claimed he held with Westpac did not, according to the bank, exist. Mr Vlahos said he only realised the money was missing the previous day, as his Dubai-based business partner, Daniel Maxwell, had been dealing with Westpac. He said he accessed the account via a toggle on his laptop using an ID number and an automated eight-digit code that changed upon each login. Justice Michael Slattery continued an order freezing more than $26 million of Mr Vlahos's assets. He is also prohibited from leaving the country. The matter will return to court on December 20.
