Presumably he needs to pay some tax (and solicitors) bills as a result of his HMRC case(s) and doesn't have enough assets to cover them:

Possibly tried to use some kind of tax avoidance scheme which HMRC said wasn’t legitimate and now he’s got to pay the taxes and penalties?

What are the chances he’s shifted all his assets into his wife’s name?

Who knows, but he's been a foal to get himself into this position.

""I am saddened and embarrassed by this outcome and would advise others to take a stronger rein over their financial matters."

Genuine quote as well.

Could have been set for life but got sucked into dodgy tax avoidance schemes , then the marching powder arrived and hey presto righty back to square one .
He has a second chance unlike some , let's hope he uses it wisely
