Dylan Simon
Dylan Simon, a former clerk at Hadeed Motors, has been sentenced to pay hefty fines after being convicted of defrauding the car dealership.
Justice Tunde Bakre handed down the sentence today, which includes two separate fines. Simon must pay $85,000 for electronic forgery and $15,000 for forgery.
The court ordered Simon to pay $50,000 by October 31, followed by monthly installments of $10,000. If Simon fails to meet these payments, he will face a prison sentence of 2 years and 10 months for the first count, and 10 months for the second.
The conviction, delivered in July 2024, relates to Simon’s input of a fraudulent check as payment for a vehicle, which he allegedly then sold to a government agency.
The fraudulent activity came to light during an internal audit conducted by Hadeed Motors following the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown in 2020.
Simon was initially facing eight charges but was acquitted on six after his trial. However, the prosecution has recently refiled these charges, intending to pursue a new trial.
The refiled charges include larceny, money laundering, electronic forgery, and falsification of accounts. These charges stem from the fraudulent sale of a Nissan Frontier pickup, which Simon allegedly stole from the company using falsified information.
Dr Williams will pull out enough teeth to cover that!
Lol hahahahaha. Or get his backdoor played with.
What? He wasn’t taught not to take people’s things; work for what you want! Some people are just too greedy and envy other people’s things. Taking what is not for you has serious consequences.
He was taught but he didn’t think it applied to him in his teefing rh.
What is happening here is a disgrace.
An Antiguan national living in the UK, a retired lecturer who spent his life serving others and planned to return home in peace, was allegedly defrauded by Corporal Peter Roberts — a serving police officer. Roberts presented himself as a builder, falsely claiming he had built three houses. This was not a stranger. The lecturer knew the family. That trust was deliberately exploited.
Based on these lies, more than EC$200,000.00 was transferred directly into Peter Roberts’ bank account. The matter was formally reported to the Commissioner of Police with hard evidence — photographs and bank statements. This is not rumour. This is documented.
Seven months later: no charges. No arrest. No explanation.
That silence is not incompetence — it is complicity.
While the Police Service moves swiftly in the Hadeed Motors fraud case, it drags its feet when the accused wears a uniform. The question must be asked plainly: why has Corporal Peter Roberts not been charged, even on a precautionary basis, as any ordinary citizen would have been? Is the badge now a shield against accountability?
This situation condemns Peter Roberts for the alleged deception and exploitation of a retired man. But it condemns the Police Service even more. A police force that protects its own while ignoring clear evidence has abandoned its duty. Justice cannot be selective. The law cannot bend for those sworn to enforce it.
This sends a dangerous message to Antiguans everywhere: be wary of rogue police officers masquerading as builders, and do not expect fairness when power closes ranks. When a uniform provides cover instead of responsibility, public trust is destroyed.
This is not just about one man or one case. It is about whether Antigua and Barbuda still believes that no one is above the law — or whether silence and delay have become the official response to police misconduct.
How sad! Stupid, greedy boy. Now if you can come up with $50,000 by the end of this month, and then find $5000 every month until next August 2025, I have absolutely no sympathy for you.
No sorry dey. Me sure he try that shit before. Imagine he scheming this for such a long time. Legend
To be honest there are alot of people in Antigua doing dirty dealings like these and believe that they wont be caught. 99 days for the thief. One day for the police. Always remember that
Love that statement. You are spot on.
Soooo what day is he Turning In himself.. or is he going to wait to be arrested again..? 🤔
Seems like fraud is becoming a regular what’s really going on in Antigua
Was this to pay the money he felt he should be making? Is not everybody get away with something. Work for the things you desire in life
One way or the other all these people defeating the purpose of trust will meet what they should meet. Stop what you’re doing
People do anything to get money nowadays exept getting a job.
So true. They want toouch easy money
People work soo hard for the things they have and people like these just heartless take them
