Best I can find is his POCA case here (he lost) where they took his £500k , and the liquidation process of his companies. The much vaunted £21m VAT fraud disappeared into the ether, either with much schmoozing or a strategically negotiated settlement with HMRC. I recall his defence in the POCA case was that if it succeeded it would prejudice any potential criminal trial in the UK, so at that point he was clearly expecting such a trial.

That got dealt with I recall, some stolen watches during search? I think the VAT fraud is what’s due to come to a conclusion soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he has often given his opinion in light of his experience. I’m sure JW never held himself out to be a legal advisor on this forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do remember reading the forums years ago and there was a bloke called Barrie Stevens who used to be the cleaner at Safeway and Captain of the Ben-My-Chree (or was it the other way around?) 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
