A judge tells Andy Pilley the case is a 'sordid tale of squalid lies and greed'.
The owner and former chairman of Fleetwood Town FC has been jailed for a multi-million pound fraud which "duped" firms into expensive energy contracts.
The judge said Pilley "devised and enforced an elaborate pretence that the sales team were independent of the supply companies".The judge told the court that while the supply companies were regulated by Ofgem, the sales companies were unregulated. They added he was no longer employed by any of the companies, and they "will continue to trade as normal".Chief executive Steve Curwood replaced Pilley as chairman after he stepped down.
