A man is still to enter pleas after being charged with supplying cocaine on the Far South Coast and being in possession of the proceeds of crime.

Batemans Bay Local Court has been told police allegedly found 53 bitcoins worth $9.2-million at Jamie Powrie’s Surfside home.

The 38-year-old’s lawyer told the court she had only been served part of the brief with several key pieces still missing from the prosecution.

Police requested and were granted another month to produce the materials including a report from a cryptocurrency expert. This was not opposed by the defence.

Powrie remains in jail on remand.
