The alleged syndicate members, including the son and daughter of ATO deputy commissioner Michael Cranston, face the prospect of losing their life savings if the proceeds of crime case is successful.
They also face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison if found guilty of the criminal offence of conspiracy to defraud the Commonwealth.
A 77-page summons filed in the NSW Supreme Court by the Australian Federal Police was released on Friday, detailing the extent of money, property and other assets frozen as part of the proceeds of crime proceedings.
It reveals that Michael Cranston will be subjected to a compulsory examination in relation to the financial affairs of his two children, the other seven syndicate members and Sevag Chalabian, a property lawyer who once represented Eddie Obeid.
Mr Cranston, who is not accused of having knowledge of the fraud, had his first court appearance on Tuesday, charged with using information obtained in his capacity as a public official and exercising influence to benefit his son, Adam.
He allegedly tried to look up information on garnishee orders served on fraudulent companies and, once the investigation was in full swing, tried to cut a deal for his son.
The summons also reveals that police have implemented 152 restraining orders on more than 100 bank accounts and 24 superannuation funds, including 10 superannuation accounts owned by north shore tax lawyer Dev Menon, who allegedly gave advice on how to implement and manage the scheme.
Simon Anquetil, an entrepreneur who allegedly managed the payroll business at the centre of the fraud, has been ordered to hand over a bank statement for a Swiss bank account and to transfer money in several Hong Kong accounts to the Official Trustee.
Restraining orders have been placed on four go karts, two boats, 17 properties, two aircraft owned by Adam Cranston, three Ducati motorbikes, two Subaru coupes, two Porsche Cayenne cars, two Ford Mustangs, two Porsche Macans, two Porsche 911 Coupes, a Mercedes SLK and an Audi Q3, many of which were allegedly purchased by Adam Cranston's school friend, Christopher Guillan.
Adam Cranston, 30, has also had a caravan, a Porsche Carrera racing car and 16 bank accounts frozen.
Lauren Cranston's VW Golf and her Picton home have been frozen.
Trust funds run by law firms Clamenz Lawyers, who employed Dev Menon, and Lands Legal, have also been seized.
Mr Chalabian, co-owner of Lands Legal, has been ordered to have a compulsory examination into his affairs however he is not facing charges.
Fairfax Media previously revealed that Lands Legal allegedly received $24 million in extortion money paid to syndicate member Daniel Rostankovski.
When Mr Rostankovski discovered that $25 million was missing, he allegedly turned on the group and demanded a payment or he would expose them in the media.
When the AFP blew the syndicate open last month, they said the group appeared to have maintained a "lavish lifestyle".
The matter returns to court in August.
