I can understand that position Moxxie. He would have done anything to wriggle and squirm his way out of the position in which he found himself. And would try to implicate whoever he could.

There are few people in my life who I have encountered who I really do wish bad fortune on. Craig Seville is one of them. I hope the future holds nothing but bad luck and hardship for him.

Where has the guy gone who was always in reception and generally lurking. Was it Simon or Steve? They seemed to be very good friends.

Yes, me too...personally I think 3 years 4months is long enough.. deserves the death sentence...

In the reception? I don't remember.. although I do vaguely remember someone called Simon I think.. it was over 4 years ago now.

Steve Viner ? - one of the few that ever made a profit on a 'deal' with Seville.

I have no idea lol :/ x [/SIZE]

Steve Viner, Yes, that was him. Had a few chats with him and it certainly seemed like he and Seville made a few quid on aircraft buying/selling. Seemed ok to be honest but didn't know him that well. Is he behind the latest venture to get things going again at hanger 8 along with George M?

I think it was 3 years 8 months Moxxie but still not enough, and he will probably serve under 2 years. My question is can he be rehabilitated in that time so he is not a danger to children? It does not sound long enough to me by quite some way.

Oh my mistake..
I don't think I could handle knowing he's on the streets again.. knowing before I found out he was jailed was bad enough..

Conduct: Between 19 August 2010 in respect of Pay As You Earn (“PAYE”) / National Insurance Contributions (“NIC”) and from 01 May 2011 in respect of Value Added Tax (“VAT”) and cessation of trading on 31 January 2012, Craig Seville caused Command Aviation Limited (“Command”) to trade to the detriment of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) in that:- • According to P35s submitted to HMRC by Command, during the two tax years 2010/11 to 2011/12 that it traded, Command incurred PAYE/ NIC liabilities totalling £168,308 with interest charges of £2,093, and made no payments, leaving an amount outstanding as at 05 March 2012 of £170,401. • Command was retrospectively registered from 01 July 2010 for VAT on 11 March 2011 and was required to submit its first return for the period ending 03/11 and make payment by 30 April 2011. • From the period commencing 01 July 2010 and ending 03/11 (31 March 2011), due and payable by 30 April 2011, to the quarter ending 09/11 (30 September 2011), Command submitted VAT returns showing that it incurred VAT liabilities totalling £44,226 and made one payment of £8,000, leaving an amount outstanding as at 01 October 2011 of £36,226. • Thereafter, Command did not submit returns and HMRC raised assessments of £15,548 for the period 12/11 and £10,979 for the period 03/12. Examination of bank records leads The Insolvency Service to believe that these assessments were overstated and that Command did not incur further VAT liabilities in this period and was due a small repayment of an estimated £553. • Notes to the accounts for the period ending 31 January 2011 show Command had a turnover of £174,332 and expenditure of £272,022. Analysis of the company’s bank account from 01 February 2011 to 02 February 2012 shows that Command received payments of £1,453,160 and made payments of £1,453,163. During the entire period of trade £8,000 was paid to HMRC in respect of VAT and nothing was paid in respect of PAYE/ NIC. • At 31 January 2011 trade creditors totalled £1,419, staff were owed £26,820 for wages, the director was a creditor in the amount of £26,085, Inter Company creditors totalled £271,537 and HMRC was a creditor in the amount of £99,397. • According to the signed Statement of Affairs dated 05 March 2012, trade creditors totalled £11,713, the director was a creditor in the amount of £14,484, Inter Company creditors totalled £52,490, no amounts were outstanding to staff and HMRC was a creditor for £235,353. Bank records show payments of £942,240 to connected parties in the period 01 June 2010 to 02 February 2012. • The updated Statement of Affairs as at 05 March 2012 shows trade creditors of £6,820, no amount outstanding to staff for wages, the director is a creditor in the amount of £14,484, Inter Company creditors total £60,830 and HMRC is a creditor in the amount of £206,074.

With his birthday being 9/11... he was always doomed..

Treadstone1 - that made me giggle ..

but in all seriousness what does all that mean? .. x

I don't know either, but it looks like he mismanaged the business to such an extent that there is a lot if money missing. Not sure if he is liable or not?

Moxxie

I don't really know what it means to be honest..but

"Allegedly" there is a lot of hard people out there just waiting for the right time, the right opportunity to strike, if you get my drift. I would love to be there when it happens.:ok::ok:

Watch your kids
 

I think half of his sentence will be served by now which normally means criminals are released. His house has been on the market for a few months now also, and all furniture has been removed. Not sure if he is selling or the bank? Either way (fingers crossed) looks like he will not be moving back in as my neighbour when he gets out!

If you look at the last few lines of the statement, It appears that a lot of money was paid for "inter-company " debts...or, some would say....shuffling cash from his right hand ,to his left. He also had the company reduce it's debt to him......

If you vote yourself a half million a year wages and the Company pays you first, tough cheddar on the other poor sods who missed out. In all fairness, thelosers, currently, appear to be HMRC...VAT, Employees' PAYE and NICS
Also, he took trade suppliers for 6,820

It would appear that "inter-company" (shuffling from one hand to the other)
Directors' wages and trading losses. total 288,000 or thereabouts.
June 210 to feb 2012, saw over 942,000 "shuffle" from onehand to the other.

The last update shows a "Hard" debt of 213K + to trade and HMRand "soft" debt (the 2-hands shuffle) of 75K +
To give the villain half-marks, it looks as if he made sure he paid staff etc. before taking a final fistful from the honeypot.

All the above comments are purely a layman's viewpoint of the facts presented. (as they say)

I think, Stanley, you'll find the house is repossessed and there's no way he'd be able to buy it back....of course, family or friends could front such a purchase and then he resume residence as a "tenant"
The best thing that could happen now, is on his release, he walks out of the gate, into the arms of waiting Plod, who then throw the next charge at him.....Misappropriation of VAT ?.....rinse and repeat , for NICS , Employees' tax and defrauding trade creditors.

If there's the will, I'm sure slimebag Seville could have his stay at HM holiday camp extended for a considerable period....but don't hold your breath,

Unfortunately this is not true, I know of several employees that where left thousands out of pocket in wages by this criminal.

I can only hope like others that when he is released (however soon that may be) that

A the police re-arrest him

OR

B the are some unsavoury characters waiting to have a word in his shell like.

I know the option I prefer to happen

AFN

He must be ready for release very soon now....Lock up your children :mad::mad:

Following repossession, his house was recently sold which is great news for the street. Only question is, where is he now? I know he has family in the area and believe he was dragged up around here so unfortunately he could be lurking nearby if out already.

MUNCHTHRU
 

Heard a rumour he was delivering fast food in Ashton. Then I saw him myself!! Did a bit or research and looks like he set up a business with someone else acting as director. It's called MUNCHTHRU.

His more recent stay at HMP began in December 2021, and ran until his release in March 2023.
It appears he has escaped the media this time, or so he hoped!
Back in 2001, Seville, newly married to his doting wife, embarked on his sickening fantasy journey, which carried more value and harm than his 'fantasy' during his 2012 antics. Unlike the 'pressures of a reccession', his more twisted motivation as a newly married man was the longing desire for young girls.
Late 2001, Seville travelled to a small town in the Midlands to pick up a young girl in his little blue BMW, and took her back to his Mayfield property to have sex with.
Eventually, in 2021, after portraying oneself of suffering only 'fantasies' of underage children during his court day in 2012, he eventually pleaded guilty to his historical vicious act 20 years previous, and received 27 months in prison during the Covid days.

Looks like he's had another stay since the above. Certainly a very murky character.

Disgraced former Blackpool Airport pilot busted over £80k flight simulator scam

Craig Seville claimed he was in debt to a loan shark and needed money to pay him off

https://i2-prod.lancs.live/incoming/...ig-Seville.jpgCraig Seville (Image: Lancashire Police) A disgraced pilot has been ordered to repay just £168 after he secured a £77,000 loan against a flight simulator which did not belong to him.

Craig Seville, 46, had several successful aviation businesses, and flew around the world with his former employers DHL. He also ran The Flight Academy from Blackpool Airport.

Between 2010 and 2012, Seville splashed out on a professional flight simulator, valued at over £100,000 for use in his flight school. However during this time he fell into financial difficulties and used the equipment as security against a chattel mortgage to be secured against the flight simulator with an investment firm.

However Seville's difficulties did not end there. Approximately 12 months down the line, the pilot needed further cash and convinced one of the students of the flight school to loan him money.

Seville, of Manchester Road, Rossendale, offered the flight simulator as security for this loan even though by virtue of the earlier chattel mortgage the flight simulator was not his to offer. When he failed to keep up with the repayments, he claimed to be in debt with a loan shark in order to convince the same student to restructure his existing loan arrangement with him and secure further funding from him.

In 2012, Seville, still struggling with his finances, managed to convince another flight school owner to purchase Flight Academy Blackpool Ltd in 2012 with the promise that the flight simulator would then be theirs. It was only after they bought the company that it was discovered that this was not the case.

Seville was convicted of fraud at Preston Crown Court and was found to have conned £77,000 from the scam. In February 2022 he was sentenced to four months in prison after pleading guilty to fraud.
A Proceeds of Crime Hearing, held in August 2022 found he had just £167.96 in available assets. Judge Richard Archer ordered him to pay back the money within three months or face six months in prison by default.
