As usual, its absolutely horrible reporting though. If he really had things like a £180k Ferrari then you could make the assumption a £100k fraud was just a deal gone horribly wrong, and very easily righted by giving someone a cheque.

Given the Ferrari appears to be part of a bigger scam / set of lies and never actually existed, I'm guessing he took peoples money to invest. Or he just got a load of credit lines for consumer goods based off the Mails last shoddy reporting laugh

The quality of reporting in that rag is truly embarrassing... I don't know why I bother reading it (other than it being free)

Well the Ferrari was a fake, I'm guessing he's blagged that flat he rents , and not paid for it

All can be summed up in the last two lines from the Daily Mail article-

"He said he was hoping to set up his own brokerage firm in Plymouth and wanted to take on 30 staff.

He is due to appear at Plymouth Magistrates' Court on July 1. "

"After admitting the fraud to police, Cook told officers: 'This has had a big effect on my family and completely ruined my chances of getting a job in finance'."

Did he really think he'd get a job in finance with 2 GCSEs? Or was he hoping that the interviews he did would lead to him being "head hunted" by companies?

Local papers in the South West are so full of bullcrap that it's a genuine shock when they come out with even the tiniest nugget of truth. The tiniest stories are usually blown out of all proportion, I think it's because half the time they feel they have to make stuff up as there's no genuine drama to report on much of the time.
