His book Kane and Abel published in 1979 sold around 35 million copies.

His wealth allowed him to run a civil case against the Daily Star in 1987 claiming libel.

He won £500k. Did a victory lap.

In 2001 he was convicted of perjury and perverting the course of justice. Sentenced to 4 years.

A cautionary tale of a man thinking his wealth made him above the law. In a civil case lying is very serious. It takes years for justice to prevail.
