Darren Upton again!

Freedom Accountacy perhaps? That's already set up and waiting for him.

Oh the irony

Seriously though - surely he won't be able to be a Director again??

Shadow director I believe it's called? If he gets caught doing that he'll be back inside again.

Either that or he'll be found in a concrete overcoat after the advice he gave Mr Big was determined by HMR&C as not being wholly accurate

He's made a lot of enemies, not least the people who he robbed money off in his ponzi scheme. I would move if I were him. Or forever look over his shoulder waiting for the day it happens.

Quite! Would not want to be in his shoes whilst inside prison or out

Upton again...

I heard a nasty rumour from one of the people working for Freedom that he is getting out soon, unbelievable if it's true.

Here's an interesting aside as well, after he was found guilty I decided enough was enough and moved my business from Freedom, they had sent me some paperwork to sign last year to transfer the business to them from Uptons, no mention of the fact that any fees already paid to "uptons" would not transfer to the new company Freedom Accountants, his wife stung me for another 500 quid when I moved on for work they had already completed, when I pointed out I'd already been paying monthly, she informed me that those payments were to the old company (Uptons) and were gone (along with the 15k her husband stole from me), no mention of this was made last October when they were transferring the business however.

I'll never deal with them again, what she did might be legal by the letter of the law but it was hardly moral, and to top it all she point blank refused to speak to me on the phone or by email and told the receptionist to deal with me, quality people eh,

I also spoke to the insolvency practitioner who is dealing with the recovery of the money owed by Upton and believe me I was gob smacked at what they told me,

Why not? I didn't think there had been any disqualification proceedings.

Doesn't bankruptcy disqualify you from being a company director?

Doh!! Yes, of course it does. Though when he is discharged from the bankruptcy it's fine.

I've just had a look at the legislation on disqualification and to my untrained eye, he has breached just about every rule in the book, so take your pick.
