A man has been charged with money laundering in regards to his alleged role in a cold-call investment scam on the Gold Coast.

The 55-year-old allegedly laundered $950,000 as part of a scam that netted about $2.7 million between late 2014 and 2015.

The man, who is set to face court on March 20, is one of six people arrested in relation to the alleged scam, including 23-year-old former Finks outlaw motorcycle gang member Jacob Staines.

Staines, the Finks' ex-treasurer, was arrested and charged in October last year along with a 37-year-old accomplice.

Police say Staines and the 37-year-old man were the principals behind two companies which sold bogus investment plans from call centres located in Surfers Paradise.

The investigation into the scam is ongoing, police say.
