How fraudster manager Damian O'Carrigan's stolen $20m booty was blown A FINANCE manager says he blew $4 million of his company's funds on plastic surgery, holidays and other gifts for women he met on "sugar daddy" websites. In his first full account of where he spent his stolen $20 million, Damian O'Carrigan revealed the money went to "numerous" women on the internet sites. Millions more were spent on racehorses, motorcycles and a separate affair with a call girl who became his paid mistress for six years. O'Carrigan is due to be sentenced in the District Court tomorrow after pleading guilty to the fraud, which lasted for 12 years until his arrest in November. Former employer Leighton Contractors has launched a separate Supreme Court civil action to claw back the stolen funds and has hired forensic accountants to trace the money. But in a blow for the construction giant, an affidavit signed by O'Carrigan and obtained by The Courier-Mail indicates much of the money will never be recovered. "There were payments by me totalling approximately $4 million as gratuitous gifts to various women over a period of approximately 10 years," O'Carrigan wrote. These relationships were instituted through the websites 'Seeking Arrangement' or 'Sugar Daddy'. Transfers of these monies occurred over this 10-year period to numerous women and ranged in value from a few hundred dollars to many thousands of dollars. Up to $7 million was used to buy and breed racehorses over 10 years for a return of only $200,000 in prize money, he says in the affidavit. At the time of his arrest he had 60 horses valued at only $93,000. About 18 Harley-Davidson motorcycles were bought during the period of the fraud at a cost of $500,000, with only one remaining. Other expensive hobbies included raising german shepherd dogs, fish breeding ($50,000 - none remaining), and fishing boats ($300,000 - none remaining). O'Carrigan met his mistress Belinda Leonard when she worked as a call girl and showered her with gifts including a 21ha property and use of a credit card ($1.4 million estimated over six years). Ms Leonard was not aware the gifts came from stolen money. O'Carrigan was married for about 30 years - the same length of time he worked at Leighton - and his wife and daughter say they also had no knowledge of the fraud. Email David Murray
