Isn't it something to do with a 'church' he was representing. There is more on the Charlton forum obviously as he is a club legend there. But it has been rumbling on for a few years now. Still 7 years (so 3 years), not a bad return to come out to unless they seize his proceeds of crime.

They’re going after the money now - he already lost a civil suit and immediately declared bankruptcy before the criminal case

That money is well tucked away. Whether its in his control is a different matter.
