Other People's Money - The Rise and Fall of Britain's Boldest Fraudster Neil Forsyth with Elliot Castro

From the age of fifteen to twenty-one, Scotsman Elliot Castro went from a petty thief to one of the world's most notorious credit card fraudsters. In a tale of escalating excess, Castro spent a seven figure sum on an international pursuit of the high life. From London to New York, Ibiza to Beverly Hills, he lived a life of fantasy and endless spending.

Despite the various authorities that chased him round the world, Castro managed one audacious escape after another while his life spiralled out of control. As he juggled aliases and lied to family and friends, he began to lose his grip on reality. Meanwhile, from a cramped office in Heathrow Police Station a detective was patiently tracking him down.

In Other People's Money, Castro and others tell his incredible story to Neil Forsyth.
