2015年以26 620欧元购买的Cork房产主要靠高等法院一名法官裁定的“Sinsister”浪漫诈骗案的资金。 A Cork property purchased in 2015 for €26,620 was funded largely by money from a "sinister" romance fraud, a High Court judge has ruled. 与有组织犯罪集团有联系的Thomas Humphreys利用了他的姐夫Patrick " Pizza Face " O ' Brien的骗局所得收益,后者诈骗了一名超过260 000欧元的弱势妇女。 Thomas Humphreys, linked to an organized crime group, used proceeds from a scam run by his brother-in-law, Patrick “Pizza Face” O’Brien, who defrauded a vulnerable woman of over €260,000. 虽然5 000欧元来自合法的伤害赔偿,但法院认定Humphreys未能证明其余资金是合法获得的。 While €5,000 came from a legitimate injury settlement, the court found Humphreys failed to prove the rest of the funds were lawfully obtained. 法官指出,Humphreys没有提及他的犯罪历史,也没有解释钱的来源,因此,大部分资金来自犯罪。 The judge noted Humphreys did not address his criminal history or explain the money’s source, concluding most funds came from crime.
