Here's a thought, at the VHS he had a display with a company banner etc etc. Does anyone know whether he registered a business name?

If he has registered a business name, anyone who has purchased a green from him since then (and therefore will probably get a knock on the door from the DEC) can register a complaint with the ACCC under section 52 of the Trade Practices Act (misleading and deceptive conduct). Further to this, regardless of whether he has a business, he is open to litigation under civil tort law for passing off illegal smuggled animals as legitimate licensed ones.

I'm no lawyer, so don't take this as gospel, but anyone who received a visit from the DEC as a result of this probably has a few legal avenues to pursue.
