Tom the Con

VETERAN fraudster Tom the Con McLoughlin is a relieved man today. Facing sentence for seven counts of fraud and deception at the Circuit Criminal Court in Dublin, he was very happy when the judge suspended his two and three year jail terms. The court heard he had paid compensation to the victims of his rental scam and hadn't been in trouble since. Has Tom the Con, who has 41 previous convictions, turned over a new leaf?
