Former comedian jailed for breaching bankruptcy rules - Debt Management Today: "bankrupt former comedian has been sentenced to 40 months imprisonment for attempting to pervert the course of justice and breaching bankruptcy rules.
Liverpool Crown Court sentenced Anthony Lee Wright, also known as Anthony Cronley, on Friday 4 December 2010, following an investigation by the Insolvency Service.
Wright, 48, was found by the investigation to have concealed his interest in a property worth £108,000 by assuming the identity of ‘Anthony Cronley’, with the intention of deceiving the Official Receiver.
Had he been successful in his deceit he would have prevented the property being realised for the benefit of his creditors.
Mr Wright was made bankrupt on 8 April 2003 on the petition of Liverpool City Council, in relation to council tax arrears. He denied that he was liable as he was receiving various benefit payments – he was subsequently prosecuted by the Department for Work and Pensions and given a prison sentence."
