Crazy twist after Olivia Molly Rogers’ ex Justin McKeone went missing after allegedly stealing $481,490 from his employer and falling asleep in the toilets at work

A bizarre twist has occurred following the shocking disappearance of Olivia Molly Rogers ex-husband Justin McKeone after he allegedly stole $481,490 from his employer.

The Melbourne finance executive, 37, disappeared in November, just before he was due to appear in the Supreme Court of Victoria on December 5.

Court documents later revealed that he is currently a resident Scarborough, northeast of Perth – and he’s now expecting a baby with Bachelor star girlfriend Tahnee Leeson.

McKeone and Leeson announced the shocking news on Instagram on Wednesday, just days after his whereabouts in Scarborough were revealed in court.

The couple appeared to beam with happiness in the photos, despite recent allegations that McKeone stole nearly $500,000 from his last employer.

In the images, Leeson showed off her growing baby bump in a sheer white two-piece as she posed for a photoshoot on the beach with McKeone.

Meanwhile, McKeone opted for a more covered-up look, donning a white button-down and blue jeans as he snapped the loved-up maternity photos with Leeson.

‘Starting the new year with the most exciting news yet. I can’t believe how much we love you already. I’m so grateful you chose us,” Leeson captioned the post.

McKeone commented underneath it from his new private Instagram account, writing, “You’re going to be an amazing mom! I can’t wait.’

The pregnancy comes as McKeone recently disappeared amid claims he stole thousands of people working as finance managers at a Melbourne company.

He disappeared in November, raising concerns about his safety at the time.

According to court documents, he allegedly stole $481,490.33 from his employer during his five-month tenure as head of finance at Rocket Brands (Cozmic Sales Pty Ltd).

McKeone was due to appear in the Supreme Court of Victoria on December 5 to respond to a civil application to impose a freezing order on his assets, but he failed to appear.

The court heard that McKeone had not been in contact with his lawyers since November 11, when he was contacted by lawyers acting on behalf of his former employer.

McKeone has not publicly responded to the allegations and has set a new Instagram account to private.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal McKeone has packed his bags and traveled across the country to his home state of Western Australia.

Court documents show he now lives in Scarborough, northeast of Perth.

He has also engaged major Melbourne law firm Galbally & O’Bryan, the same firm representing the man accused of murdering Ballarat mother Samantha Murphy.

McKeone and Leeson have had an on-again, off-again relationship since his split from Rogers.

She denied being back together with McKeone when questioned about it in July, telling reporters she was “just friends” with him.

However, the couple appeared to be in love in photos that Leeson posted to her Instagram page at the time.

In them, McKeon appeared fit, healthy and happy, although it remains unclear when exactly they were taken.

McKeone’s move to engage the law firm followed a court decision to issue a freezing order on his assets after he failed to appear in court.

The court heard that McKeone was to be contacted via social media or email in an attempt to offer him the opportunity to argue his case.

The court had already ordered a freeze on McKeone’s assets, totaling an amount that Rocket Brands claimed he stole between May 23 and October 6.

That order was set to expire weeks ago, but was extended in McKeone’s absence.

The court heard McKeone, who once worked with Melbourne’s high society, had limited access to $800 a week for living expenses and $10,000 to pay any legal fees.

McKeone joined Rocket Brands in March this year with an annual salary of $200,000.

But just weeks into his probation, employees reportedly expressed concerns about his erratic behavior.

Evidence provided in court alleges that Rocket Brands director Matthew Holmes was told by other employees that McKeone was “sleeping in the work bathrooms for up to four hours a day,” taking excessively long lunch breaks and regularly leaving the office without completing his duties to complete.

Further evidence provided in court claims McKeone admitted to the theft when confronted by Holmes in mid-October, as shown in court documents obtained by Daily Mail Australia.

During the meeting, evidence given in court shows that McKeone allegedly confessed to embezzling the money to fund “a very serious drug addiction.” told Holmes he would “do his best” to repay the company.

At last month’s hearing, lawyer Kieren Hickie of Rocket Brands called on the court to extend the freezing order to any international assets that McKeone may have hidden abroad.

The court heard that McKeone had failed to comply with a ‘disclosure notice’ due on November 24, despite assurances that he would engage a lawyer to act on his behalf.

Rocket Brands asked Judge Peter Gray to enter an interim judgment – ​​a non-final judgment that resolves part of a claim or other issue without deciding the entire case – and award him restitution for the full amount and legal costs thereof.

“My client is seeking to move forward by seeking an interim judgment against the defendant to determine damages,” Mr Hickie said.

The company also requested that legal costs be borne by McKeone, a request that was later granted.

“We are here today, it is clear that the defendant is in default in filing any appearance. “It would be the just, timely and cost-effective resolution of this dispute for an interim order to be entered,” Mr Hickie said.

Court documents allege McKeone disguised 114 unauthorized transactions as legitimate payments to suppliers, funneling company money into his personal bank account to allegedly finance a drug habit.

According to court documents, McKeone allegedly used his exclusive access to Rocket’s financial systems to authorize and process the payments.

The affidavit alleges McKeone manipulated invoices to show payments to suppliers such as ‘Storage King’ and ‘Net Focus IT’, while diverting money into his own Westpac account.

Screenshots submitted to the court show McKeone editing and approving these allegedly fraudulent transactions using the Xero software program. Holmes told the court he had not approved any of these payments.

The alleged embezzlement was reportedly hidden in Rocket’s financial statements under the guise of “historical adjustments” totaling $310,878, further complicating the company’s efforts to identify the missing funds.

Holmes reported the alleged theft to Victoria police on October 14.

Detectives from the Yarra Crime Investigation Unit interviewed McKeone on November 6, but no criminal charges have been laid as the investigation continues.

In the civil case, Rocket Brands is seeking full restitution and has accused McKeone of breaching his duties as a senior manager.

The company has described its alleged actions in court documents as calculated and damaging, claiming that the alleged theft caused significant financial losses.

The lawsuit states that McKeone’s actions were allegedly a “gross breach of trust” and that the company is “unable to accept [his] statement that he has no more money in his accounts.

Olivia Molly Rogers, 32, who divorced McKeone last year, has not commented on the lawsuit.

Judge Gray extended the freezing order until April next year, and the case is now expected to go to trial.
