Starting to make some sense.
Vickery owns restaurant.
Vickery's business partner allegedy rips him off but Vickery has no concrete proof.
Victoria Police unable to do anything without concrete proof.
Vickery knows King and his bikie mates
Asks King to help with his problem
King 'allegedly' uses standover tactics to get money back
Both arrested
Can't see enough there yet that would get him sacked from Hawthorn
Edit: Minor tidy up

Would have to be convicted I would have thought.

Guys, please think before you post.
If you're just logging in just to throw shit at someone who is yet to be charged with anything, think again.
We all need to wait to hear more.

I'll be careful about what I say in response to this post.
If it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Vickery has asked King (as is alleged) to help him recover money from a former business partner and King allegedly uses standover tactics to recover the money, then my understanding is that, as the instigator, Vickery would be as guilty as those other people who allegedly extorted the money from the alleged victim.
It's akin to hiring someone to murder your wife and you make sure you're in another location with an alibi. You don't pull the trigger but you put the events in motion.

Except that you don't get arrested for nothing.

In the big scheme of things, this stuff happens ALLLLL the time, it's simply because of their profile and Kings association with Mitchell that has got these boys done over.

There's a difference between being arrested and charged, and it's not like the police to bungle an investigation (not saying that this is the case here). There's a reason why most civilized countries, such as Australia, have a judicial system whereby those accused of crimes have their day in court and have the opportunity to be judged by a jury of their peers.

"Vickery, 27, believed a partner in his Hawthorn East Italian restaurant, Fat Monkey, stole as much as $100,000.
He raised his concerns with police, but when he was dissatisfied with the response, it is alleged he enlisted King, 33, to recover the funds."
Hmmmm.

Over 10 years ago, a mate of mine used to own and run a restaurant (a busy one) in Richmond for about 2 years. I reckon it took years off his life. After a stint as an economist (he completed a masters in economics at university) he decided to become a licensed second-hand dealer and now exclusively deals on eBay and the like. Keeps his entrepreneurial spirit going but without the stress of running a restaurant.
Trouble.

This. Aside from the full investigation bit, sounds to me (at least) that they didn't care in the slightest.
Feel for his cat.

Wow who would have ever expected an upstanding citizen like Jake King to be mixed up in something like this?
That is hilarious and as subtle as a sledgehammer.
