Bit naughty. Suspended sentence. Duping foreign governments to send him MVs etc., Then flogging them on. Only seen the Wail story, so looking around for details.

So, in brief, he fraudulently 'acquired' dozens of bits of heavy kit, used MoD facilities and kit to store and transport them, and then sold them on to unsuspecting buyers for personal gain. Suspended sentence seems very lenient in these circumstances....
I thought that seemed a bit mild too. 'Impressive levels of fraud' the impression, but I really haven't dug into the case.
The real punishment is getting barred from a cushy job with the MoD. They wouldn't want someone there with his track record of actually procuring tanks.
Please excuse dodgy eyesight and spelling of both participants in this exchange. Kind regards, always, Jim.
