    'Arrogant': Paul Gunter, see n aboard Richard Pope's boat No Slack, had built up a

    portfolio of 26 home s using money stolen from thousands of victims

    Their boiler room investment scam was the biggest the UK has ever seen, and destroyed hundreds oflives.

    Marriages broke up, retired professionals were forced to go back to work after losing all their savings,and one distraught man killed himself after being cheated out of 200,000.

    Meanwhile Pope, 55, Gunter, 64, and Odoni, 56, were busy frittering away their victims cash, buyingdozens of properties and extravagant luxuries including Ferraris and a 350,000 private plane.

    They arrogantly flaunted their wealth one photograph shows Pope making an obscene hand gestureas he posed in his convertible.

    Boiler-room fraud: Simon Odoni, 56, who had been hiding in the Dominican Republic

    to avoid extradition for his crimes , was caught after a flight he w as on was forced to

    divert and land on U.S. soil

    The trio were jailed at a court in Tampa, Florida, marking the conclusion of a seven-year transatlantic

    investigation that stretched from Spain to the UK and eventually the US, where they will serve theirsentences.

    Detective Inspector Kerrie Gower of City of London police, who led the inquiry, described the scam asfraud committed on a truly massive scale.

    She said: Pope, Gunter and Odoni are amongst the most ruthless and destructive criminals the City ofLondon police have ever dealt with and deserve every day they will spend behind bars.

    The three employed staff in Spanish call centres who rang British homes selling shares in companiesthat did not exist.

    Lavish: Cabanas line the shore at the Dominican beach property snapped up by Paul

    Gunter with the proceeds of the boiler-room scam

    These investments were then funnelled into US bank accounts belonging to the conmen.

    The majority of their victims were retired professionals whose losses ranged from a few hundred poundsto 1million. Many were left penniless.

    One devastated victim, 44-year-old Mark Goswami from Huddersfield, took his own life, leaving a wifeand daughter.

    The boiler room scam began in 2004 when Pope, Gunter, and Odoni stole details of dormant publiclytraded US companies. The term boiler room refers to the cheap offices that are used to do the selling.

    In the case of Pope, Gunter, and Odoni, they employed hundreds of staff in call centres in Spain whomade 50 cold calls every day selling the bogus shares.

    They used glossy brochures to make the investments seem credible and set up a fake website to makeit look as if stocks were moving up and down, encouraging the victims to invest more money.

    According to the indictment issued by the Middle District of Florida US Attorneys office, the salesmenemployed high pressure and misleading selling techniques, such as saying their own families hadinvested money in the scheme.

    It all fell apart in 2011 when Pope, originally from St Albans in Hertfordshire, was arrested in Spain.

    He was extradited to the US, where he admitted mail and wire fraud and testified against the other two.

    Odoni, also from St Albans, tried to skip bail in Britain by moving to the Dominican Republic where hespent his days in a waterfront cabana he bought from the proceeds of the scam.

    He was caught when a plane he was travelling on had engine trouble and diverted to Miami, where hewas arrested.

    Odoni and Gunter, who is originally from London, went on trial in March and were found guilty of mailfraud, money laundering and wire fraud charges.

    But their refusal to plead guilty meant that three of their British victims, including Mr Goswamis widow,had to fly from the UK to Florida to face them in court.

    Detective Inspector Gower added: These were arrogant criminals who were just ripping off UKinvestors, taking as much as they could from them and having criminal lifestyles, lavish lifestyles,whereby they were purchasing boats, a plane and high value vehicles.

    We have 26 properties down in relation to Paul Gunter alone.

    Police said he and Odoni have so far shown no remorse.

    Gunter was sentenced to 25 years and Odoni to 13 years and four months. Pope was sentenced to fouryears and nine months.

    Four others were also charged in connection with the scam.

    'NO SENTENCE LONG ENOUGH': HEARTBREAK OF WIDOW OF 'PROUD' RETAIL

    MANAGER DRIVEN TO SUICIDE AFTER LOSING THOUSANDS TO CONMEN

    One of the victims of an 85 million fraud where investors were tricked into buying worthless shares wasdriven to suicide after losing thousands of pounds.

    Mark Goswami killed himself in October 2007, just three days after he had gone to police to raiseconcerns that he had been conned.

    His widow Andrea, 48, who described the former retail manager as 'a very proud, kind and intelligentman', said he was 'devastated' when he discovered what had happened.

    'They made m e feel sick': Mark Gosw ani's w idow Andrea flew to the U.S. to face the

    fraudsters in court

    She was one of three of Richard Pope, Paul Gunter and Simon Odoni's British victims who flew to Floridato face them in court.

    'It was very difficult to go,' the mother-of-one said.

    'It was one of the hardest things I had to do, to go into that courtroom.

    'I couldn't actually look at them. I couldn't actually bring myself to look at them.

    'When I was giving evidence I knew that if I did I would crack and I wouldn't be able to carry on. It wasonly as I was walking out of the courtroom I looked sideways and that was it.

    'They made me feel physically sick.'

    Her husband began working from home in 2005, having given up his job as a retail manager, and madean income trading on the fluctuations of foreign exchange markets and investing in shares.In 2007 he began getting cold calls from the fraudsters, and eventually in September that year heconfessed to his wife that he may have lost thousands.

    He lost more than 70,000 to Pope, Gunter and their accomplices.

    Mrs Goswami said: 'He wasn't eating, wasn't sleeping, he was all over the place. He was constantly onthe computer, he didn't take a break.

    'He was very upset, he was very devastated.'

    She discovered that the address given by the investment company IMG was in fact a model agency, andcould find no official records for the firm.

    After her husband died, she was determined to continue the fight for justice.

    Mrs Goswami said: 'I just tried to get every bit of paper that I could find to do with his investments.

    'I looked at the computer, trawled through the computer to see what he had been doing, who he'dspoken to; looked at contacts, his diary.

    'It's been a very traumatic time. I wanted to understand what boiler room fraud was, because I didn'tknow such a thing existed.

    'I needed to get this done for my husband's sake, to finish something that he'd started."

    She said no jail term will be long enough for the devastation they have caused to her and her 14-year-old daughter Grace.

    'I'm very, very angry, and no sentence in my eyes will be long enough for what they've done, thedamage that they've done, not just for myself and Grace, but all those victims, all those people.

    'They've defrauded whole families, just destroyed their dreams for their families' futures. I want mydaughter to go to university, she's a bright girl.

    'They've left us with nothing. I know money doesn't make you happy, but obviously you think about yourfuture and your family's future.

    'Some people think that being defrauded means that they're stupid people. But they couldn't possiblyhave known that they were being defrauded like that.'

    It always amazes me the amount of people who get scammed in schemes like these. Please do your homework, it's notdifficult to look up business on the internet, get testimonials from people, phone their banks and do your research priorto parting with your hard earned cash. If in doubt don't do it...if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is...

    Alas , I suspect Mr Goswami 's fate was almost inevitable once he'd been seduced into quiting a good job to become a"Day Trader". So many people did it, fuelled by the availabil ity of online self-service investing and trading. The reali ty is,most jus t lost what they had, which was never enough capital in the first place: you can't make an income trading with afew hundred thousand; you need millions . Running into these boiler room clowns was likely only the final straw and,probably, Mr Goswami would have been more cautious, but one suspects that a desperate need to make some realmoney had probably set in by then. There are so many similar tales - with or without a boiler room scam at the finalcurtain. So sad and the cynical seminar circuit that peddles the dream of "working just 4 hours a week as a day trader" or"realising enormous personal wealth as a property investor", etc, etc., is as m uch to blame as this evil trio. They are allparasites peddling false dreams

    If they were prosecuted in the UK, the Serious Farce (Fraud) Office would have mes sed up the prosecution and they'dhave walked free. Even convicted, they'd have got community service. The US shows how it should be done.

    A fool and his money are soon parted. Sorry but it's a fact. They'll always be unscrupulous predators searching for theweak and feeble, the hard of thinking members of society. Remember this s imple rule. If it's too good to be true, it's NOTtrue. At least these 3 have been caught and punis hed, but many more are at work, even now. if anyone ever approachesyou, by phone, at your door, in the street, they have approached you, you didn't approach them. You have been selected.Proceed with absolute caution and don't part with any money or information without discussing it over with friends or

    family first.

    Plus side,they were sentenced in federal court, which means no parole. Good behavior can get them max 15% off theirsentence. Negative side, they may spend it at Club Fed, a minimum security type pen, not getting their rectums resized ina state pen.

    According to a documentary i watched about these types of criminals , they don't feel guil ty becaus e "they only con greedystupid people". Maybe that's true, however i believe that some people are born without a conscious, moral compass , orsoul and that's why they do not have remorse.
