Our client was acquitted by the Jury at Ipswitch Crown Court of his involvement in an alleged international boiler room fraud.
Two other defendants were sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court for running an illegal high pressure, share-pushing operation from call centres in Spain. Around 1,250 investors in the UK were persuaded to buy over £7 million worth of shares. Using their “Gordon Gekko” contract notes to complete the transactions, the team were alledged to have siphoned off around 80% of the invested funds. Craig Clark who was represented by Bark & Co. was acquitted by the jury of any wrongdoing.
- David Arthur Vidgeon(DOB 02/01/1980), a UK national resident in Spain was sentenced to seven years imprisonment.
- Rahul Natwar Patel(DOB 09/09/1975), a UK national resident in Spain was sentenced to seven years imprisonment.
They were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud, contrary to Common Law, on 15 July. Three other defendants, Baldur Sigurdsson, Roland Pibworth (tried in absentia) and Craig John Clark were acquitted.
SFO Director Richard Alderman said: “A boiler room is a predatory and orchestrated ‘attack’ on private investors so it’s very satisfying to see justice delivered for such callous dishonesty. I hope that publicity of today’s outcome will serve as a warning for people to think twice when hard-sell investment offers, usually unsolicited, appear tempting. ‘No’ is the right answer”.

He denied two counts of fraud and two counts of false accounting at an earlier hearing but was remanded in custody.
After a bail hearing held behind closed doors at Southwark Crown Court, Adoboli was granted bail on the condition that he must reside at a friend’s house and abide by a curfew enforced using an electronic tag.

A blind 89-year old World War Two veteran has completed his training as a “Virtual” relay operator for the Veterans Workshop, a national veterans nonprofit and is now qualified to make and place phone calls on behalf of Deaf American Veterans.
Emory Finefrock, of Yukon Oklahoma has completed his basic training as a relay operator from instructors of the Veterans Workshop.
“They have taught me how to be a relay operator for deaf veterans,” said Finefrock. “I have been training at home virtually with instructors who are teaching me how to place a phone call for a deaf veteran, a veteran who can hear but cannot speak, and a veteran who can neither hear nor speak. The need is great, the mission is solid and I feel once again I am serving my country.”
Blind veterans nationwide experience a disproportionate rate of unemployment due to the nature of their injury, said John Laakman, Visen 16 Coordinator for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Oklahoma City.
Integrating a new work program from the Veterans Workshop that teaches blind veterans the skills needed to become relay operators assisting deaf veterans is a natural fit.
The Veterans Workshop is a National Veterans Nonprofit that trains combat wounded and disabled veterans to be self sufficient while working from home. Using off the shelf technologies and robust training, the Veterans Workshop is changing the lives of disabled veterans nationwide.
Blind Veterans and Deaf Veterans are available for comment.
On Memorial Day, Blind relay operators, calling on behalf of Deaf veterans will be calling the While House, seeking to have a relay call with the President, calling Mitt Romney seeking his understanding of this new service, Various Governors, Senators and Congressman to explain what this Relay service can accomplish.
