OMG....it would take me several life time for me to accumulate that.
What a Ponzi Scheme. cheers PAt
i disagree, bidding them will be putting money back in the pockets of those he conned
this is all going towards financial confiscation order to repay the people who are now massively out of pocket after being conned. they wont get all their money back, but the more that people bid the more they'll get back. far better than him keeping it o...
