Andrew Amdur, found guilty of fleecing a grieving widow, has been told by a judge that he faces ‘an appreciable prison sentence’.

Amdur’s dormant Twitter account stated that Carlo Bergonzi ‘proclaimed that Andrew has the finest tenor voice in the world.’

    Whoever heard of him? … and it might seem from the quote on his Twitter account that he’s a swindler on more than one level!

  • Manuel Drezner says:

    Ex-tenors don’t exist.Even in jail he will always be – good or bad – a tenor

  • Producers says:

    Perhaps the world’s greatest tenor can put on a show from the inside and give us a rendition of “Prisoners of Love.”

  • Joe Pearce says:

    Perhaps he will turn producer in jail and offer the first
    Eurotrash SOLITARY CONFINEMENT AIDA

  • AndrewB says:

    What an awful story – let’s hope this vulnerable lady gets at least some of her money back as justice is done .
    We read that Amdur has a family – so let’s hope he uses his prison sentence wisely to prepare a better future for their sake.

    • Karl says:

      The problem with incarcerating putting people who commit fraud is that it makes it harder for them to pay restitution. You can’t earn money in prison.

  • dorset richard says:

    is that the Carlo Bergonzi, the owner of a pizzeria in Harlow

  • Rog says:

    Says it all about the Mail that it describes him as a ‘top opera singer.’

  • ThrownOutOfTheKremlinForSinging says:

    The role he should sing when he gets out is obvious: Mime (“Mimmy”) in SIEGFRIED. The ultimate con-man, whose con only failed because his mark acquired magical mind-reading powers at the last minute.
