        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.”

              Surely that explains everything. I'm surprised he wasn't sectioned rather than imprisoned.

                Are you implying that Darren was innocent or that Harry was guilty?

                  Tina has remained supportive of Darren, at least when I have dealt with her. I do hope she doesn't get hit with lots of fall out here.
                  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!

                    Feel sorry for the 18 month old, what a way to start out.

                      Well, he's certainly a lunatic if he went in the Leeds end dressed like this:
