Mr Gerathy was a friend and business partner of the now-disgraced mining minister Ian Macdonald. It was March 2013 and he had just checked himself out of a mental health facility where he had remained during the course of the sensational corruption inquiry into how Eddie and Moses Obeid became multimillionaires due to their now infamous Mount Penny coal deal.
At the time, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was wrapping up but Mr Gerathy maintained he was still too ill to give evidence.

Justice Elizabeth Fullerton, who heard the case without a jury, has said she was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the three had conspired with the effect Macdonald “wilfully breached” his duties as a minister of the Crown in order to provide a financial advantage to the Obeid family. ....
