Ian Barnes, 53, and Alastair Ramage, 44, sold dangerous teeth whitening products and did not pay £8.5 million VAT. 🦷

The fraudsters spent the stolen cash on first-class travel and a £16,000 Gucci cap and even planned houses with matching swimming pools shaped like teeth. 🧢

Now they've been jailed for over 4 years each. ⚖️

The image features a notice from HM Revenue & Customs with the headline "Fillings of Guilt: Teeth Whitening Tax Dodgers JAILED." Below are two photographs of the individuals as if masking taped to the background. The text reads, "Dentistry fraudsters left with nothing to smile about."
A graphic with the text "They laundered £8.5 million using 118 bank accounts, cards, and crypto platforms." It features two photos: one of a wad of bank notes, and the other cryptocurrency mining equipment.
Three photos of seized luxury items: a Rolex watch, a diamond ring, and a bottle of champagne. Text reads: "They used stolen taxpayer cash to fund lavish lifestyles, buying high value properties and regularly travelling abroad on expensive luxury holidays, often exceeding £10,000."
Three illustrated images are taped onto a background featuring banknotes. The first image shows a cartoon tooth diving into a swimming pool.
