Information about Eliot Castro from Aberdeen who stole from credit card companies and went on a luxury spending spree and lifestyle before being caught and going to prison. Upon release Elliot Castro wrote the book Other People's Money which will be made into a film:
Elliot Castro was born in Aberdeen, Scotland and grew up in the Logie area of Aberdeen with his father, Carlos, and mother Jane. He went to Kaimhill Primary School. At the age of seven he moved with his family to Chile before returning to Scotland where they lived in Glasgow.
Elliot Castro turned to a life of crime and defrauded an estimated £500,000 from credit cards over five years. During this time Elliot Castro exploited security flaws and weakness within the British banking and credit card industry to steal money to fund a luxurious spending spree. This took Elliot Castro round the world as he lead the high life in worldwide cities such as New York, Ibiza, Beverly Hills and even in the UK in London.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

Whilst Elliot Castro was enjoying the champagne lifestyle along with fine food, hotels and designer clothes the authorities were tracing him and his many aliases. Lies to friends and family soon tripped him over and the fantasy life Elliot had built up soon removed him from reality. Read his full story in the book co written with journalist and author Neil Forsyth and how a Detective from Heathrow Police Station traced this credit card fraudster who is often described as Britain's boldest credit card fraudster and Britain's most audacious fraudster.

It seems that a life of crime can pay because at the age of twenty five years ElliotCastro sold the rights to his book Other People's Money to film producer Charles Steel whose last movie was the BAFTA award winning film The Last King of Scotland which starred the actors Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin and Scottish actor James McAvoy as Dr Nicholas Garrigan. The Last King of Scotland tells the story of Scots Doctor Nicholas Garrigan who works in a rural hospital in Uganda during the rule of President Idi Amin who was nicknamed The Last King of Scotland. Producer Charles Steel is currently making the film Poppy Shakespeare.
It is thought that Other People's Money by Elliot Castro could become a film much like the blockbuster movie Catch Me If you Can which starred Leonardo Di Caprio as the con artist and fraudster Frank Abagnale Jr. Other People's Money will be made by Cowboy Films and more information can be read at www.cowboyfilms.co.uk
Other People's Money by Elliott Castro was co-written by the author Neil Forsyth who works as a freelance journalist for many leading newspapers and is the editor of the 2008 book Delete This At Your Peril - One Man's Fearless Exchanges with the Internet Spammers By Bob Servant.

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."
