Mental isn’t it. People richer than God always want more and when they’re caught just pay a fine and all good.
There is a criminal charge that remains on which he will be sentenced. Payment of what's due and a guilty plea will influence what that sentence is and I doubt he'll be gracing the corridors of Wandsworth anytime soon. Spevs said:

He's had to cough up over £650 MILLION to HMRC!!!!
Is that true..........If so..........Good enough for him.
So, he's still paying it when he's 111? Or have I missed something?

He should have paid the £400m 18 years ago, so it’s now £650m with interest. So, he's still paying it when he's 111? Or have I missed something?

It always amazes me how little consideration they have for their fellow man. The fact that the funds going into the public coffers could prevent a little old lady shivering to death due to a lack of funds would never cross their minds. (incoming for my naivety blah blah blah)

Edit: does that cease or have to be paid if he croaks it?
