<h1>Fraud in anticipation of winding-up: director diverted company funds after loss of control, now facing criminal and confiscation proceedings.</h1> A director was convicted of fraud in anticipation of winding-up after transferring the company's bank funds to his personal account following appointment of a Law of Property Act receiver and the transfer of the company's assets and sole share to that Receiver. The jury rejected his claimed belief in entitlement to the funds. The Insolvency Service is pursuing confiscation under proceeds legislation, and the director remains disqualified with an indefinite suspension of bankruptcy discharge for noncooperation with the Official Receiver.
