Unsourced material

I have removed the reference to Sachak being born in Afghanistan, which was inluded by a user who claimns to have seen the subject's passport [1]. Whilst I dont doubt this to be true, wikipedia requires information like this from published sources for inclusion. The only published source we have on this matter is a book by Hilary Kingsley stating him to be born in East Africa. If this is incorrect, please find a published source to back this up, and it can be changed no problem.

I have also had to remove the stuff about him being sentenced for three years. I have done a search and this does show up on a few websites such as this one [2] that states "Sashak was convicted at Isleworth County Court on Monday October 17h 2011 of obtaining money by fraud from one of his best friends of 20 years. The former friend had some 18 years previous been engaged to a young lady. The engagement had broken down and the victim of this scam had not seen or heard of the young lady since. Then 5 years ago Sachak claimed that he had bumped into the young lady and she had told him that she was in an unhappy marriage and would love to once more make contact with the victim again. As "she" was afraid of her husband she thought it best to make contact through texting. So began a 5 year session of texts between the victim and as he thought was the young lady. In fact it was Sachak texting back all the time. Posing as the young lady he text that "she" was in need of money and could "she" borrow some. The victim agree and using his good friend Sachak as go-between passed over in excess of £83,000 over the 5 year period. Recently it emerged that the lady had no knowledge of the loans and Sachak had taken the money for himself. He was sentenced at Isleworth County Court on June 8th 2012 to three years imprisonment"

I will leave it to others to assess if this source is deemed reliable. They have lifted from a former version of a wikipedia page, so not sure what to make of it.GunGagdin ^Moan 17:33, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
