Nasa Physicist Sentenced to Pay Back Fraud | Nottingham News

A former NASA physicist turned fraudster, John Burford, is facing steep consequences after swindling over a million pounds from 100 investors between 2016 and 2021. Already serving a two-year sentence, he’s now ordered to repay more than £655,000 — money he used for lavish personal expenses, including a new home.

The FCA says victims will nearly recover all their lost money, with Burford’s total losses and repayments adding up to nearly the full amount stolen.
