1,400 Kids, He Must Have Been Exhausted

DWP Bureaucrat Behind Bars For Creating 1,400 Fake Kids

John Brian Agdomar, 42, of Hackney, East London, got four and a half years for tax credit fraud, relating to the creation of identities for 1,400 imaginary children and the claiming of £1.2m in tax credits.

£1.2 mio buggering hell

He was helped by Olanekan Omatayo Ogunmekan, 34, of Bethnal Green, East London. He got 52 months for conspiracy to commit fraud and a default sentence of 30 months for failing to repay £162,652.71, as he was ordered to by the court.

That seems a bit light

Olanekan Omatayo Ogunmekan is a Nigerian national and under instruction of the courts he is to be automatically deported back to Nigeria on his release and is banned for life from returning to the UK.

I'll believe it when I see it and I should imagine the money's in Lagos already, so that's gone.

Agdomar was also charged with abusing his position of trust within the civil service.

No shit.

EDIT: Kudos to the commentor at El Reg who said

'He thought they said "Won't somebody think up the children?" so he did'
