Shawshank Redemption!
I thought the Accountants name was Andy Dufresene
Maybe they should make a film about it- oops already been done.
A word of caution
This thread is based on a report in the Daily Fail. Excuse me while I fill my bucket with salt.

Families on benefits?
He gets free board & lodging and his family get benefits. The other inmates get a free education and lots of free time to study. No University fees either.
Why is that criminals get better education and even one-to-one 24 hr nursing when necessary (to stop them from starving themselves to death), whereas law abiding people can starve for all the government cares.
Even violent offenders get the comparative freedom of open prisons, and then go walkies!
Families on benefits
This is is a non-sequiter. Someone is paying a penalty that a judge decided, rightly or wrongly, was condign. A tax repayment is a debt owed to the prisoner, and should be paid to him., nothing to do with his offence. There are a lot of taxpayers not getting their balance of allowances, sometimes because their earning capability was precipitately stopped, sometimes because they died part way through the tax year and their personal representatives didn't know they had overpaid tax on occupational pensions. This is an injustice, in the latter instance, an injustice to widows.
I wonder whether imprisonment counts as reasonable excuse for failure to file a return. Especially with an accountant in the next cell?

This was a reply to Shiurley M, of 01/06/14 , but got separated from other benefits. I have quoted it above.
For the record, I believe the Goverments attitude to benefits is apalling. This does not affect the fact that a taxpayer's repayment is the porperty of the taxpayer. Befoe the days of self-assessment and oindependant taxation, I was asked to get a repayment for an ex-prisoner, whose crime had been despicable. But he had paid for it, and so had his family, who needed the money.
Retired People into the Prisons

Prisoners into the "Care Homes"?
makes sense

Makes sense. Tramps used to break a window to get a warm cell for the night.
Just an extension of that clever thinking.
Only two others?
Would you care to name the other two so that we can check out your assertions?
I'm sure that if you asked nicely, he could provide you with at least two hundred of his aliases.

Shouldn't the subheadline read
"Accountant helps inmates with skills for leaving jail"
Lets face it with jail time behind you one of the only options you have coming out is to start your own business as it will be very hard to get a job for most people.
criminal not an accountant
he was chartered....imagine the fuss if he was only QBE....
NB the chartered badge did not afford him any protection did it?
he's a former Chartered Accountant now just a criminal.

Interesting money laundering issue.
So you are giving advice (holding a seminar? mmm) to known criminals without checking their identities.
I think you could do more than advise on a wasted personal allowance. Fraudsters are often allowed to commit further fraud while still inside.
Mind you the government probably think they are growing the economy by getting more fraud onto vat returns. Or at least that's what it shows.
Don't bother publishing this comemnt, I just forgot to press the daily digest button on the last one!

The way the institute carry on, the suspension from membership was probably shorter than the prison sentence. He may well be able to re-apply for membership whilst still in there.
