Well...that’s not entirely true. The conman who said he’d won the lottery caused a lot of trouble for a lot of people.
I actually, genuinely, feel sorry for him.
Nobody does this kind of thing for fun.
Thing is nobody ever saw it, it was all very strange. The more he has gone on and on the more likely it is too actually happen.I felt sorry for him and his family getting abuse, now I wonder whether any of that even happened.
He has. He's got a son. A nice lad, who came to view our house with him. Even chose which bedroom was to be his when the sale was completed. God knows how this will scar him.Hope he hasn't got any kids because they'll suffer for this.
I think it's safe to say a high profile 'club takeover' was never likely to end well if it had no basis in reality (it doesn't end well when it does!)Well...that’s not entirely true. The conman who said he’d won the lottery caused a lot of trouble for a lot of people.
GH must be feeling a bit fucking stupid
If Hoffman's credibility could suffer anymore!GH must be feeling a bit fucking stupid
Got three years IIRCWell...that’s not entirely true. The conman who said he’d won the lottery caused a lot of trouble for a lot of people.
Assuming he actually has enough cash to cover any court costs and compensation of course!In his defence, if he is successfully sued his promise to pump money into the club will technically be accurate.

He could be in bigger trouble than SISU
The Fraud Act 2006: repeal of the deception offences in the Theft Acts 1968 - 1996 - GOV.UK
Fraud can carry a 10 year sentence. People (not just CCFC related) have spent money on the basis that he was what he held himself out to be
"There are two basic requirements which must be met before any of the three limbs of the new offence can be charged. First, the behaviour of the defendant must be dishonest.[2] Second it must also be his intention to make a gain, or cause a loss to another.[3] However, there will no longer be any need to prove that a gain or loss has been made, or that any victim was deceived by the defendant’s behaviour. Each of the three limbs of the offence carries a maximum sentence of 10 years
Section 2 makes it an offence to commit fraud by false representation in any form. For a representation to be false, the representation being made must be wrong or misleading, and the person making it must know that it is, or might be, wrong or misleading."
I’m gonna call Hoffman and tell him I’ve about to win £20m on a bet regarding Michael Doyle and appearances.
Just want a seat next to Mr Coventry.
Perhaps I’ll get the other hatter to be my wealth advisor.
I'm not sure Evans understands the difference between truth and fiction.He could be in bigger trouble than SISU

Brilliant! Even looks like him!Not a fan of re-using gifs too much but...
The question on my lips now is where does Gary Hoffman go from here?
Hiding under the bedsheets with a crate of Stella won’t save him now, he is in deep shit . It’s not his family’s fault so I hope they realise us fans that did not cause this and I hope his family are OK.
Suggest this forum washes it's hands of this man and no longer feeds his ego by posting comments about him ? Nick ?
The letter pretending to be from Laura is pretty serious fraud imoI don't think he was committing fraud itself (the definition wouldn't include deceiving the public about being involved in a prospective club takeover), he was committing false representation which attracts a lesser sentence if found guilty.
Exeter?The bigger question is, where does the mad hatter go from here??
Luton, I suppose.The bigger question is, where does the mad hatter go from here??
