Achilleas Kallakis was known as one of the most audacious characters in the London property market. Born into a modest family of ship workers, he managed to amass a 250 million fortune. Kallakis deployed actors, forged paperwork and faked references to convince a number of banks that he was a global property tycoon with assets in London and Hong Kong. His international playboy lifestyle came to an end when he was exposed and sentenced to 11 years in prison.
