What Moore did was when he was on remand, he used an illicit mobile phone to create a fake email account. He then posted as a senior court clerk and sent bail instructions to the prison staff who apparently thought the email was legit, thus releasing him in the process. His escape was only discovered when solicitors went to interview him and discovered he was gone.
Now despite having made his clever and daring escape, Moore decided to turn himself in three days later. How he pulled it off was through an email whose domain was setup to resemble that of the court service’s official address. He also setup the website using the name of the investigating officer and used the Royal Courts of Justice as its address.
Moore had previously committed fraud using four different aliases and has pleaded guilty to eight counts of fraud and one count of escape from lawful custody and will be sentenced on the 20th of April.
