Ex-lawyer jailed over £10m fraud
http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/ne...l/article.htmlA FORMER solicitor from Nottingham has been jailed for seven years for his involvement with an international gang of fraudsters.
John Branham James, 56, of Short Hill, Lace Market, was one of six men police believe made up to £10 million from targeting victims through "ponzi" schemes.
James was found guilty of deception, money laundering and unauthorised deposit taking at Southwark Crown Court on April 12 last year.
He was sentenced to seven years on July 2 but reporting restrictions have only just been lifted.

Do not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me
