1. Because this is a title bought with stolen money. The guy鈥檚 real name is Anthony Williams.
2. It鈥檚 small, with a population of only 320.
3. No. He looks like a Scottish noble, soft
-
spoken and wealthy.
4. The truth is that the man with endless money and a friendly manner was not a lord at all
but a government employee living out a fantasy that he was a Scottish noble and paying for it by
stealing funds from Scottish Yard.
5. He stole more than eight million pounds over eight years and poured about five million
pounds into the village.
6.
Most
of
the
stolen
money
was
supposed
to
be
used
to
pay
spies
and
conduct
secret
activities against the Irish Republican Army.
7. He used the money to buy an estate, a beautiful home, and a dozen noble titles. But most
of all, he sunk his dishonest gains into the village, buying multiple cottages, a pub and a run
-
down
hotel and turning them into very good
-
looking places.
8. His bank deposits were so large that they were noticed by the bank鈥檚 management. The
bank then notified the police, who discovered that the criminal was one of their own.
9.
Because
in
the
eyes
of
some
villagers
Williams
is
a
helper,
pouring
most
of
his
stolen
money into the village and giving jobs to 43 people.
10. He said in an interview after he was arrested: 鈥淚 discovered this bloody huge amount of
money.
I
went
from
the
need
to
pay
off
a
few
debts
to
what
can
only
be
described
as
greed.
There is no way to justify it.鈥?/p>
