Bath Chronicle
|June 26, 2025
A conman who stole £5.7 million of cryptocurrency with a partner in crime from Bath has been ordered to pay back more than £140,000 or face more time in jail.
James Heppel, 44, of Staverton in Wiltshire, was handed the confiscation order following an investigation into his finances.
At Bristol Crown Court on June 6, Heppel was ordered to pay back £140,000 after the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWRPOCU) looked into his assets.
Wiltshire Police said Heppel will need to pay back the additional money within the next three months. If he fails to do so, he will face another 18 months in jail.
