Well, I didn't know about the mistress stuff, at a time when he owed > million from the FSA affair.
"A couple of clients realised they had got the wrong account details and made correct payments to HMRC but Upton submitted nil returns and obtained a refund, and fobbed off clients when queries arose."
One of those was me, he stole 13k in total, which is modest compared to some. Annoying thing is I had the refund cheque in my hand but I trusted him to sort it. He did, cancelling it and getting HMRC to BACS it into his account (pretending it was my account). I do hope he gets a new 'girlfriend' inside.
Feel a bit sorry for Tina now, obviously the police investigation revealed his double life.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Darren never took me for anything (at least it has not come to light yet) but I do hope he gets his just desserts. I might have had a bit more sympathy if he wasnt obviously funding a mid life crisis with contractors hard earned. I am sure he will have caused bankruptcies within our circle.Just saying like.
where there's chaos, there's cash !
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!
