Summary

Six individuals were sentenced to between three and seven years in May 2013 as a result of an SFO investigation into what is believed to be one of the largest boiler room frauds ever pursued by a UK authority. These sentences followed the defendants being convicted by a jury on an indictment containing a single count of conspiracy to defraud. The six defendants formed the senior management and operations team for three Madrid boiler rooms and conspired with Mr Jeffrey Revell-Reade and Mr Anthony May to defraud investors with or through the entities Tresaderns & Partners SL, Price Stone Group SL and Anderson McCormack SL. The defendants were arrested between 2007 and 2009 and were charged in 2010. A seventh defendant pleaded guilty to three counts of money laundering and was sentenced to 21 months’ imprisonment, to be suspended for two years.
