Madness this broke 3 years ago - and now,because no judge was available, he waits 1 more year!
what a shambles
Exactly - and it's no good to anyone.
Those who lost their money want justice and if he is innocent - i know, i know, but if he is - then that's such a long time to have these charges hanging over you.
One of the best defenders I've ever seen - safe as the Bank of England.
He was for Charlton up there with Marvin Hinton, Paul Elliott and not forgetting that late headed equaliser at the ‘98’ Play off final. Sad that if found guilty, whatever his circumstances at the time, he had to turn to crime.

Agreed. I go back as far as Paul Elliott, just. For me Rufus is the best young player I've seen come through in my time supporting CAFC. His levels of consistency were off the scale.
Phenomenal footballer, up there as a youth product with Peacock, Bonds, Walsh, Elliot, Bowyer, Shelvey, Parker and Gomez. Really tragic what has transpired.
Judge Dafna Spiro released Rufus on bail ahead of his sentencing hearing on January 12 but told him: “The inevitable sentence is going to be one of custody.”
What a depressing story. The illegal trading started only 3 years after he retired too
Agreed. Sad to read but deserves the punishment that comes his way. A family member was a fan and used to post on here (May still do), I feel for them as well as the financial victims.

The legal system is in a proper mess.

Don't know what's worse: the allegations or the revelation that he lives in Crystal Palace!
I guess the info about the trial being next year was a typo.
Really tragic what has transpired.
