Elliot Wilson is in Prison for lettings scams

Hello,
If anyone has been ripped off by a man called Elliot Wilson from 2005 to 2009 by letting scams on flats in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield. This man was convicted in August 2009 and sentence to 4 years in prison.
Elliot would set up offices in citys and let flats taking deposits, rent and not paying the landlords and then running off. In 2005 I was scammed and lost £1k I only found out last month that he was convicted. Over 35 cases were brought against him.
If anyone was scammed by him and involved in the case I would like to hear what had happened I have spoken to the prosecutor lawyer and he gave some details to me. I know there were threads on here in 2006 to 2008 regarding these scams.
Thanks
Andrew Ryan

Did you spotOrder suspending bankrupt’s discharge under Section 279(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 until the fulfillment of conditions as specified in the Order made by the Court and effective from 28 November 2008
That does not happen often.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -
"Discharge Suspended Indefinitely "No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
