Tomb Raider composer jailed over COVID-19 loan fraud
Briefly

Peter Connelly, known for his work on Tomb Raider games, has been sentenced to 16 months in prison for committing COVID-19 loan fraud. He inflated his company's turnover to secure two Bounce Back Loans totaling £59,500, despite only being eligible for one. The actual turnover was much lower than claimed. His company went into liquidation in August 2021, and he entered an Individual Voluntary Arrangement in June 2022. Connelly aimed to orchestrally reimagine his past soundtracks but resorted to fraud for financial help during the pandemic.
