Boris Becker going to jail
Discussion
I remember when he denied the paternity of his daughter. (conceived in the cleaners cupboard- classy)
It was comical, no DNA test required, one look at her photo told you who daddy was
Always amazes me how people that rich screw it up, fritter it away.
Could have gone bankrupt, got a gig doing commentary on Sky/BBC and still lived very comfortably.

Cue cries of "what about xxx who got a suspended sentence for GBH because she's a mum/he's thick/they're poor" etc (the sentiment of which I agree with by the way).
Indeed. Price is in court now and needs to be sent down.For the money involved Becker has got off lightly.

Love means nothing to him. It was comical, no DNA test required, one look at her photo told you who daddy was

Not GBH but Stuart Garner or Norton notoriety did come to mind, robbed a pension fund of 11 million quid and got a suspended sentence last month.CoolHands said:
I don’t understand how he’s apparently a £50million bankrupt because of a £3.5million loan he took? How do you lose £50mill
It never was £50M. Media nonsense.His business partner in Switzerland claimed becker owed him 40M swiss francs (£32M), he borrowed $10m from a uk bank and never paid that back and he borrowed £2m from telecoms John caldwell -the nice chap charged 25% interest on that loan lol. But to be fair he priced it according to the risk and he never saw the money again because the bank got the bankruptcy order first.
Becker won the case against the business associate so that turned out to be nothing, but the media to this day will say '50m'
The 10M loan became 14M, 2M JC(now 6m with interest lol) and surely many others. Even £25M?
Basically Becker is a bloody fool-swanned around being billy big b
ks, look at me. Living off of other peoples cash. He is a compulsive liar and a cheat and it used to grate somewhat having to listen to the fat bd commentating for the BBC.Of course, he tried to evade the system by claiming diplomatic immunity and used stolen passport(african country). failed at that too.
He was also convicted early 2000s of tax evasion in germany and had a suspended jail term. So the man is a dyed in the wool slippery fish and he finally got what he deserves.
It wouldn't surprise me to see him on the BBC next summer
