First of the big name film scheme backers has been made bankrupt

Please understand: it's not about the money, and never was.
It's about punishment, and setting an example for others. Sorta like hanging someone where everyone can see.

Did his accountant advise this scheme?

That's not mentioned BP.

How does a professional footballer get in contact with the scheme? There has to be an intermediary who probably profited from the deal with some form of commission or introducer.

I think BP's post was slightly sarcastic.
There's always an accountant or otherwise introducer involved in all these "schemes". Funny thing is it's never them who are left holding the bag. In fact they never even get as little as a mention in all of these "stories" - as you have correctly noted.
