Greedy Oasis touts punt tickets for over £2k sparking calls for crackdown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thousands of Oasis tickets for Celtic Park have been hoovered up by greedy touts - sparking a call for a fast-tracked legal clampdown. The Daily Record can reveal that faceless scalpers, listing from overseas, have harvested vast numbers of tickets, using dodgy methods to jump ahead of real fans in the queue. And on the StubHub site alone, more than 1,000 briefs are currently listed for Celtic Park, with a combined value of more than £2 million - leaving Oasis superfans who missed out fuming. Ou
Ex-Rangers owner Craig Whyte linked to global tax-avoidance network (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Disgraced former Rangers owner Craig Whyte has been linked to a global network of tax-avoidance firms in a shock new report published today. Following an investigation by the Daily Record, the TaxWatch UK policy think tank has carried out a probe on the 55-year-old. And their report highlights Whyte’s close connections to companies that seek to help clients hide cash and assets - and avoid extradition back to the UK to face justice.

The new book by Anthony Adams, 31, promises to deliver the truth but it has outraged victims who say Adams is trying to excuse his crimes. The Daily Record previously told how the confidence trickster left a trail of victims in his wake after pretending to be a surgeon, a Celtic scout, an ambulance firm boss, a UN ambassador and an exorcist. His cons involved cheating people o
Life and Crimes of Scotland's King Con - from fake pal to coronation invite lies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Daily Record Chief Reporter Mark McGivern delves into the secret life of Anthony Adams, Scotland's 'King Con'. I’ve seen many fantasists over the years and the common traits are endurance and delusion... like others before him, Adams thinks he’s a victim. Instead I saw him flick a middle finger to blind ex-serviceman Bill Mackie after he was convicted of stealing the OAP’s medals in May. He had previously emailed Bill and his wife, Heather, fake invitations for the coronation of King Charles III
