What is the financial position of his parents, maybe they would weigh some % of the money lost in if they were aware of the situation. Obv it's a long shot but anything that enables a possible reimbursement of funds has to be worth a shot.
Cos I've done plenty of shit in my lifetime to piss my parents off and although they steam, in the end things will be alright I'm sure. The guy is a very very good conman and had everyone fooled
I've just managed to speak to Neil to tell him to get on the thread and answer questions.
I quote, "I'll try later as I've come to tell my parents. They are gonna help me get on my feet and are going to help to make sure everyone gets paid back'.
I also asked if there were any funds elsewhere and he's insitant that he's done the lot, including personal ISAs and his account is in overdraft.
Obviously all this still needs checking.
In the meantime I've just given Rookie the account log in and password and he's going to help look into what happened.
From what I've looked at, I don't think he's done the lot. At least not in that Betfair account.
For me, here are the biggest oddities:
On March 1st, Blatch backs two tennis players against each other at 1.1 for both players in a qualifier match that probably had little trading on it at the time.

Since we don't know the state of the account, this is the highest amount attempted to be traded in a single go that I've spotted in the figures. From the 23rd of Jan (when this bet was cancelled) until the end of the accounts -£45848.08 was lost which could mean that over £100k could be unaccounted for.
