Boris is one of those unusual Germans with a decent sense of humour; I like the skinny pube haired fish eyed chancer

He can't run, he would be unemployable as a wanted man on the run and he would be very easy to arrest and extradite, which guarantees a stint in a prison somewhere, and if that's happens to be in the US that is a very different prospect to a British open prison.

He just ran out of road and his day of reckoning arrived. Once the shock of being taken away and processed passes, he will be shipped off to a low security / open prison soon enough. He might have a pretty unpleasant few weeks in the scrubs until he gets transferred.

After that he will adapt and the relief that it's all over will be felt. He'll do at least 15 months.

The Insolvency Service must be giddy with the excitement of bagging an elephant. Nothing will sharpen the minds of anyone currently plotting to evade their bankruptcies with lies and concealment by seeing Boris getting sent to prison.

I do remember going to the local lake on a beautiful Sunday afternoon near the town of Leimen, where he was from. I was surprised that I was virtually the only person at that lake, a lake that is usually crowded. I went to get a beer and asked what the heck was happening. The lady went "Bobbele is playing!!!". She thought I was taking the piss when I said that I had no effing clue who or what she was talking about.

Anyway, kind of sad to see the arguably best player of the time finishing up like this, but then he has been on a downwards spiral for decades.

"...a downward spiral for decades" shows how high up he was. I would be on a downward spiral for about six days before I'd hit rock!

I am not a tennis fan but he was the biggest star in Germany for years, along with Steffi Graf. But after he ended his tennis career, everything he touched (car dealerships, professional poker, sex in a broom cabinet) went toxic. I think that he is probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
