Pounds, that is . . ..
Court hears that domain name scam enabled 23-year-old to trick thousands of victims in ingenious online frauds run from bedroom of his father's terraced house
A YOUNG computer expert threatened to cut the throats of police and trading standards staff as they investigated internet scams that earned him more than £1.5 million, a jury was told yesterday.
Peter Francis-Macrae, 23, spent a fortune on designer clothes and learning to fly helicopters after allegedly tricking thousands of innocent victims in e-mail and website frauds run from the bedroom of his father’s terraced house.

He then withdrew £250,000 in cash, mostly £50 notes, from a building society account and either hid or spent it.
Guess he was allready counting on going to jail ..probably going to plee uncountable for his actions (or how do you call that) .
But police searching his premises found two books on money-laundering
Yeah put it away somewhere safe and with alot of intrest on it ... when he gets free he still has enough money to start again
I always wonder what these kind of guys find out next ... thet sure are resourcefull.

Yeah, you gotta be gifted to lie to people. He's a scumbag, and a talentless con-man.
