@Watson,
I'll reply to your comments in turn, but your remark about gardener you might find as cover work. Feel free to get spooked at this stage - Garak, from Deep Space 9 (often subject to intrigue plots involving intelligence), remarked that 'being a gardener was one of the few times that the cover was more interesting than the assignment'.
Garak is part of the Obsidian Order.
Whilst ficitious, I'm sure it pushes us an interesting direction to explore. I do not think someone would travel so far merely for gardening. Planting - framing. Removing the weeds - taking out targets. Cultivation - double meaning, either cultivation of drugs or cultivation of particular groups or activities.
I'll need to come back to this point later. I'm also planning to do the therapist research but I'm swamped and I'm starting to suspect my day job is purely to stop me from conducting research.
Eyeballing the datasets on Mega, there's references to Nugan Hand bank, which I know for a fact is a CIA money laundering outlet based in Australia.
They have dedicated casinos of which they do the money laundering in. They also have a number of aircraft related to those casinos, specifically for ferrying money around. Unfortunately I do not have the other researcher's handiwork to hand.
If they're involved, it's all but guaranteed to involve stolen money.

They're not a myth, but information on them is sparse. One could be forgiven if they thought it was a white supremacist movement based on the name, but from what little I know about them, they're actually an offshoot of the Chinese Triads.
China having major influence in Australia would not be surprising. In-fact, they're the main financiers of mining operations in Australia, so they would know a thing or to about mining in general.
