Take it his wife isn't up to much then ;D

Did he pay you in cash for the cleaning you did because technically that's money laundering although you won't be involved but you could be asked to give the money back.

PS deny all knowledge of him IMO

Some you win , some you loose Mark. It's sad to see someone go to Jail but I would have no mercy on anyone involved in drug smuggling. Twelve years is a good sentence and he should serve every day of it.

I lost a letting agent a couple of years back,he was also an agent for one of the high st banks. he had stolen 10 million from customer accounts! I'm not sure if I should write off the £120 he owes me,or add interest as most of the money he nicked was never recovered? by the time he gets out it will probably come in handy for my 14 year olds retirement! ;D
All the best

Did a job for a lady who was an alcoholic. In talking, she explained that her husband had left her and she had struck up a relationship with the builder who had been building her an extension, who also happened to be a friend of her ex husband.
She explained that she worked as a nurse, spending 12 hours a day and alternating night shifts sitting in a room with a guy in his early 30s who had some debiliating illness and was bed ridden. Her job was monitoring the equipment.
She was sacked as a nurse, got a job as a bank nurse, but was again sacked for not telling them that she had had a short spell in the nick due to her drinking and driving. She now had this job looking after this guy, was earning £800 per week for doing so and things were looking up.
The day i was last at her house, she told me that she was buying a triumph stag car that was advertised locally and she was looking forward to it. Low and behold, a few months later she is in my local paper. She has had a magor row with this builder boyfriend of hers, and she is chasing him down the road in her new car, ped out of her head trying to ram his van, with no headlights on. Back to jail and lost job again.

My first accountant got 7YEARS for his first offence for fiddling books (not mine). He was putting whole families on peoples books as earners all the local builders, scaffolders etc were using him. He used to have his Christmas do in the local Mecca, it was worth going to it for the fights as old scores were settled (never mind the state of the wives, dog rough comed to mind).
Every one knew he was dodgy but you keep on using them as it seemed the easiest thing to do, anyway he came out of his office Christmas Eve, tap on the shoulder etc come with us sir, no bail as he had dual natioality and a house in Cyprus. That was it 7 years.
