As a board of SDTC, you used the staff to find funding for the Verschuren Centre that you couldn't get from SDTC. You got twice as much from the government as you asked for. That centre then invested in an organization that you have a financial interest in—Sandpiper, DeNova and the bio-creators.
There is a clear link between your efforts to get money for the failed Verschuren Centre so that they could give money to a company you had a financial interest in. That's a direct conflict of interest and it's personal benefit by you, which is what the minister set up when he appointed you and knew and was warned that you had conflicts of interest.
