Robin Moss, also an internationally-ranked chess player, was sentenced to 10 years in jail
A crooked tax agent, who is an internationally-ranked chess player, has been jailed after stealing more than £750,000 through tax and mortgage fraud. Robin Moss, who defrauded 16 victims in Nottingham, was sentenced to 10 years behind bars at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday, October 9.
He splashed hundreds of thousands of pounds from the proceeds of his crimes on luxury items, including more than £115,000 on collectible Moorcroft pottery, £89,251 on gold coins and £18,930 on jewellery. Moss persuaded one client to pay their £53,000 tax bill through the crooked agent who paid it straight into his bank account, rather than paying it to HMRC.
Nick Stone, operational lead in HMRC’s Fraud Investigation Service, said: “Robin Moss abused his position of trust to steal from clients and the taxpayer. Tax fraud is never a victimless crime and the eye-watering sums he spent on pottery and gold should have been funding the public services we all rely on.
