- Distinguishing Features / Details
- He pleaded guilty (during trial) to fraudulent trading and tax evasion (£333,000) in Coxhoe, County Durham, between 2009 and 2014.
The judge said: "Both of you are internet fraudsters. As society increasingly turns to the internet as a market place to buy and sell goods, so it is that the probity of those who trade online is of the utmost importance... the news is full every day of the shortage of money for hospitals, defence and the courts, and those who evade their tax are responsible for operations not taking place, for people not being cared for properly and the lack of police on the streets... It is a fraud against every decent citizen and the vulnerable." - Case Timeline
