Another lad hits rock bottom. I wonder if anyone here ever tangled with him or his bois

Thanks for sharing.

But unfortunately it shows that as hard as everyone here tries to keep lads busy and away from victims it is just the tip of the iceberg.

Oh hell yes. This is good news.

Great news. I'll like to think that he is one of the lucky visitors to Rame. But I doubt he went. This guy was probably above that. Most of the lads there weren't the fizzy type.

Great news - but as ever he got away far too lightly. All I hope is that Police have been able to trace and confiscate as much of his wealth as possible - and who knows - some of the victims might eventually get something back.

It's just a great pity that more effort cannot be made internationally to smash these bastards into touch once and for all. It certainly prompts me to get stuck into them with as much energy as I can.

Back to work!

The proceeds of crime act 2002 should allow them to take away quite a lot if not all of it. If he couldn't prove that he had any legitimate income and was obviously handling large amounts of stolen cash, I'd reckon they would be filling skips with his dirty swag.

Emails showed victims pleaded with Onyeachonam to send them money to pay for healthcare, while some died before he could be brought to justice.

That means he's committed murder. What is the penalty for murder in the UK?

^^^If they confiscate Fizzy's cash with the POCA, will they return it to the victims?

Yeah, good luck with that.

Good news nonetheless.

@Ginger, welcome back!

Always good news when a lad is put out of action.

Also good to see the Met Police sorting out another one.
They seem to be getting better at finding and prosecuting these assholes.

You have more details here. No idea if the media posted the fake name he used online proper, because that so called username is not reported anywhere, neither at least as a question level if he is genuine or not. Scary when you think he was doing what he was doing for seven years straight...
