Police have seized 645-million dollars worth of property, cash and other assets over the past 10 years.
Second hand dealer Rob Burgess pleaded guilty to receiving 250-thousand dollars worth of stolen gold and jewellery and was sent to prison in 2014.
His four hectare lifestyle block near Auckland was sold in 2017.
Burgess maintains he never committed any crime, and lost everything he ever earned.
