        That's a US Citizen.

        "Bruce Richall is an IT consultant based in the affluent Connecticut suburb of Westport. He describes how the loss of his job at a multinational bank triggered a rapid spiral into poverty. Having depleted his savings and unable to afford rent, he now sleeps in the back of his car. "

        The UK one reads

        "Bruce Richall is an IT consultant based in the affluent West London suburb of Richmond. He describes how the loss of his job at a multinational bank triggered a rapid spiral into poverty. Having depleted his savings and unable to afford rent, he now lives rent free in a £1.2M council house with his Afghan dog, Gordon."

          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                I wonder how he spent his money when he was earning. I bet he did not shop at tesco/primark. Although this is speculation....
