Ms Preiss, who has been named as an interested party in the case, has not been charged with any criminal offence.
However, she is alleged to have held assets which belong to Mr Nelson. 
The CCC alleges a $637,800 Lamborghini Huracan registered in the name of Ms Nakase, a former bartender, and purchased using Bitcoins in October 2019 was paid for with laundered money.
The car, bank accounts containing more than $140,000, several Bitcoin accounts and a Gold Coast home are 'tainted property', CCC Proceeds of Crime director Sharon Raabe alleges in her affidavit.

The $745,000 four-bedroom home in Pimpama, jointly owned by Mr Nelson and Ms Nakase, was purchased outright 'using a deliberately complex series of transactions' to avoid detection by authorities, the CCC alleges. 
The home has currently been restrained under proceeds of crime laws.  
Queensland Supreme Court Justice Frances Williams on Thursday ordered Mr Nelson to provide details of his assets of $5000 he now owns and has owned in the past six years.
Ms Nakase also has to give details of assets of $5000 or more.   
The CCC told the court Mr Nelson made statements that he never wanted certain assets in his name as 'he was worried the police would know'. 
The case continues on Friday.  
In June last year, Ms Nakase pleaded guilty to two counts of perverting the course of justice, two counts of possessing property suspected of being the proceeds of a drug offence and one count of driving with a drug in her system.
