Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Laxie]

Yep...a tease.  That's more of it.

[Redbull]

The Inland Revenue had their own suspicions and began asking Adams to explain how he had amassed his personal fortune and got his £2 million house and the valuable antiques he collected. Adams invented a range of unlikely occupations, including jeweller and public relations executive. Transcripts of the surveillance and investigations into several front companies Adams set up proved he was lying.

When he was arrested in April 2003 detectives found art and antiques valued at £500,000, £59,000 in cash and jewellery worth more than £40,000 in his home. On May 18, 2007 he was ordered to pay £4.8 million in legal fees to three law firms who had initially represented him under the UK's free legal aid scheme. He was also required to pay £800,000 in prosecution costs. A few days later on May 21, 2007 he was ordered to file reports setting out his income for the next ten years. Open case files remain untried on Operation Trinity records and rumour still exists that several further prosecution may eventually come to trial. In May, 2009 media reports suggested that his £1.6 million house was for sale as a result of the fees and costs arising from his 2007 conviction. A blog purporting to be by Ruth Adam's details the family's claims that notwithstanding the guilty plea Terence was innocent of the charge[1].

Why didn't he just say he played poker and won lots of money? Surely gambling is the easiest form of money laundering? I'm sure there are thousands of chinese restaurants hardly turning over a penny but the owners are incredibly lucky at the tables and manage to create a lump of untaxable income from a couple of lucky spins....?

Ahem - that 'line of defence' didn't quite work for a certain 'Italian Geordie' poker player    ..........

Hmmmm, please tell me more? I was grimmed by an Italian Geordie poker player called Steph a few years back. Saw him everyday at Gala Notts for well over a year. He then grimmed a load of us and was never ever seen again.  He took a lot of money off me and was the last straw for me ever lending to people. It was pretty ridiculous actually, at one point there must have been 20+ owed me money back then. Just wound me up continuously. No stresses at all now that I say a polite but firm no.

Must be the same fella, is he inside then?

In fact Nick, THAT Steph was the Landlord of a rough-house Boozer by TBI & the City Ground IIRC. A right strange type.

Don't think so. The place used to get smashed up every home match, I recall that.

[Royal Flush]

I got grimmed by a greek cypriot for ~€900,000 dont trust them!

[Redbull]

  Guess Steph must have had a VERY big repair bill.

No worries Tony, didn't see you at all yesterday! Probs would have nipped you if I had. Hopefully see you there soon!
