This case concerned two alleged conspiracies to defraud members of the public by selling them shares and sending them fake stock certificates/agreements/invoices. The total loss to the public identified as a result of these two conspiracies was estimated to be well over £1,000,000. On Day 4 of the trial, following defence disclosure requests and argument, the prosecution agreed with defence submissions that all three defendants could not receive a fair trial, and they therefore offered no evidence.
