Carter’s loyal followers will be shocked by the 5.7 year sentence.

But “Mason” was a mirage, a fiction, an avatar who lied as easily as he breathed. Little of what he typed was ever true.

You did not know him, despite all the private DMs and the illusion that he cared. https://twitter.com/caratacusx/status/1382386373873831938">https://twitter.com/caratacus...

Carter knowingly and purposefully stole people’s life savings and pension pots, hundreds & thousands of pounds per swindle.

He spent hours talking to victims by phone, convincing them of his expertise in sports gambling. But he never “traded” the money, he just kept it.

People called him to plead with him to give them their money back. He said they shouldn’t have gambled. While laundering their money to hide it away.

These were premeditated, deliberate scams over 7 years.

Then while on bail for these crimes, he kept right on scamming.

He scammed you. You are a victim of a fraud targeted at Brexiteers feeling hopeless and despairing during a zombie Parliament that disrespected your vote and democracy itself.

But he never had an important job. He never had inside info, he never told No 10 about your hopes and fears for the country.

He asked for your money, once, twice, six times over. And pretended to care about you and the group. Private messages, long zooms.

All the while knowing he would one day disappear with your money still stuffed down his sofa, one last hurrah before the law caught up with him.

You don’t get sentenced to 5 years and 8 months for a first rodeo, or for a minor crime.

Time to snap out of it.
