A FORMER Plymouth student who gave away cash outside Drake Circus has admitted to hindering a police investigation into an alleged £3.5 million fraud.
Gurvin Singh Dyal admitted failing to hand over digital data to police officers as part of inquiries into the case. He has been ordered to pay £10,000. The 28-year-old asked to be able to pay the money in £1,000 monthly instalments.
Exeter Crown Court heard the selfstyled entrepreneur, the subject of a BBC documentary entitled Scamland, did not "reasonably comply" with an order to hand over material to police, made on July 22, 2020. Dyal gave passwords and pin numbers for four electronic devices seized by police, but claimed he could not remember the password for an Apple laptop, the BBC has reported.
