Vanda Gould: jailed Sydney accountant loses defamation case against Australian tax commissioner

Gould, who is in prison for perverting the course of justice, had claimed Chris Jordan defamed him at speech at the National Press Club

Jailed accountant Vanda Gould has failed in a defamation lawsuit against the Australian taxation commissioner, Chris Jordan.

In the federal court, Gould, a Sydney-based accountant, had claimed that remarks Jordan made at the National Press Club in 2017 defamed him by painting him as having engaged in the worst kind of money laundering, insider trading and tax fraud.
