    To be fair, he bought his wife a new iron and some hoover bags.

      Masserati, as the Porsche wasnt good enough (according to facebook). All this happening when he owed > 1 million from the Ponsi scheme. The lowest part seems to be stealing from the guy who invited him to his wedding, what a scumbag.
      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.”

        Glad those of you who were fleeced have got some justice and hope you got (or are in process of getting) your money back.

        One question. How on earth did he think he could away with all that?

                Yes, the thought of him getting off as a result of giving him a damn good thrashing would definitely deter me.

                Agreed. In the cases of refunds they gave, they were the ones who were defrauded.

                  The first question I had to the police, my personal feeling is he went a bit mad and didn't want to admit he'd messed up and would have to start again. He could have pulled in his belt paid everyone back and kept his business instead he decided to go out on a massive FOOK YOU spending spree.

                    Is he related to a certain Mr Brown?
