A 29-year-old man from Australia who was jailed last year on fraud charges recently walked free, after his conviction overturned by the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal.

Luke Moore had been sentenced to seven years in prison after running up thousands of dollars in debt, spending money on cars, holidays, artworks and even a boat.

By the time authorities caught up with him, he'd run up debts in excess of a million pounds.

Moore opened up an account with the Australian bank St George in 2010, when he was aged 22.

Unemployed and claiming benefits, he ran up an overdraft of A$9,000 after a year - and then continued to withdraw and spend money, realising he had, in effect, a limitless overdraft.
