I scare myself with these stories to remind myself of how close I came to being conned by someone years ago. The money doesn’t compare but a working class person who was working for myself at the time, had I not considered the unflattering possibility that someone I’d done contractual work before might be setting me up for a con, I likely would have found myself in serious financial and legal trouble. Scary stuff.

We expect each other to be decent and nice because each of us gets a good feeling from living that way. Most of us have empaty. We also feel with the nice persons who have lost their valuables and their trust in other ppl.

I was a bit confused as to the outcome of his conviction. He was sentenced to 5 years of jail, but I didn’t hear any mention of a restitution judgement, ordering him to repay her. I’m in the US, so maybe it’s different in Britain. Perhaps she would need to file a separate civil case to receive compensation? Here it would be included in the criminal case.

The sentences never repay the conned person. The state should pay the victims back, then the state should put the con artist to work doing all the shittest jobs possible until they’ve repaid the state. A few years in prison does nothing to cure them or put the victims life back together.

Everyone deserves a second chance. But in Brittain law does not work that way, most cons get marked for life, they have to report to authorities when they move, etc... so in essence the law does everything to put someone in his position down. Not being able to realize their financial potential is like being perpetually incarcerated. Some other nations see through these shortcommings of the british legal system and show mercy towards these individuals.

...surely she, his wife, must have wondered where all the money was coming from and the sudden changing of addresses too and different countries at that, so literally on the run. Still I suppose if she was soaked up in the nice lifestyle and the beautiful clothes and luxury living, who was she to complain, some women just live under their spouses thumb and sounds like she did, not asking questions, along with the justice system of the UK, Spain and Switzeland. An unbelievable story told through a great documentary that I must admit I enjoyed, although I felt so much anger at the gall he had right from the start as a teenager...especially when his father lost his business and the other guy lost his business although his wife could see through him, as she was questioning the fact that he was just handing him cash whilly-nilly, eventually also resulting in the break-up of his marriage. I think he might NEED to be on the run once he does become free again, as there must be a lot more he has conned, who wont come forward because they are ashamed that they "joined the club of those being conned by him" so would prefer to deal with it themselves, this wouldnt surprise me, although I could understand if they did but to me, he is not worth doing time for. Basically he should be made to pay it all back and then suggest that he gets a job as a "cart-boy' in a supermarket carpark...."Waitrose" would be right up his street... seeing as its a trifle upmarket......!!!

I stood at exit of London Kings cross figuring how to get to Hendon for an overnight stay before catching a flight in the morning. A man approached me asking if I had change of a £20 note I opened my wallet to help him out. He got talking saying he was a army sergeant based in Germany invited me to a nearby snack shop for a chat. Inside sitting we got a coffee and he pulled out a pack of cards. Long story short he fleeced me of the £65 I had in my wallet I guess a lesson learned for a naive 17 year old out in the big wide world count myself luck compared to some of the poor victims on here!

I feel sick to my stomach, how Carolyn Woods must be feeling. She’s an incredible person to have not let it finish her off, she’s got that elegance and spirit about her. The Swiss guy he took for 400k was very cool too, must be very rich.

I had expected this to end with a long prison sentence and a suicide. But Mark knew that he would only get a slap on the wrist. Someone please explain why someone like this is allowed to devastate lives by being let out of prison so quickly? There seems to be little consequence to graft, fraud and cronyism in the British justice system.

It is all over the world. He should be put away for life or have a hand chopped off and marked for life, so people get a warning.

The simple fact of the matter is that if someone has the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves, even unwise decisions, it makes this type of offence, legally, much more difficult to prosecute. Interestingly, in the online research I conducted after watching this documentary, Acklom was actually convicted of defrauding Carolyn of £300,000, rather than the amount of £750,000 she states in the documentary she lost to Acklom in total.

His teacher was obviously a very strange character too - what normal adult, never mind a teacher, would give a teenage schoolboy, whatever his business studies abilities, £15k to play the stock market and expect to get any of it back???
