Also, for the assurance of support, they lived with my uncle for their entire time being here (my grandparents), what is the assurance of support money used for? Does the government use this money for paying surgeries, doctor appointment etc? Or is this not taken from the money and used to guarantee something else

Is there a possibility that the bond was more than $14000?

Back in 2005, my grandparents were brought to Australia from Athens, Greece. They were given options, pay $500 or so and basically wait to receive a visa, could be weeks, months, years, no one knows. However, they were given an option were roughly each person would cost around $40k, including plane tickets and healthcare checks prior to coming into Australia and would only take around 1 month and they would get into Australia. My family took that option. The brothers (4) payed in total $80k and they came from athens to Australia in less than 1 month total. They were told that this $80k was to be put into a bank account, and this money (portion?, or total? idk) would be used as funds to pay any issues, such as surgeries, healthcare check ups, doctors etc. They were told that this money would remain and not be lost if they didn't use it up. My grandparents passed many years ago and this money has kinda been forgotten and has recently been brought back to thought. The brother who filled this visa, is unwilling to talk about it and pushes any thought about the money away, saying that the papers are lost, or some very random excuse. [My family has come to suspicion that perhaps he has took the money and not split it between the 4 brothers who each put 20k for their parents] I (son of one of the brothers) am seeking to find any information about the visa back in 2005 that this might correspond to and perhaps any information about this money. Would anyone know anything about this situation? Anything is helpful, I am trying to understand this further since I can't get any information within the family about it. :/
