The first time Tony Colston-Hayter made the headlines, in the autumn of 1988, he was the 22-year-old rave promoter dubbed "The acid house king", accused of luring Britain's youth into "an evil night of ecstasy". Twenty-six years later, he is in the news for a scam that makes unlicensed raves look like apple-scrumping. This week he pleaded guilty to being the mastermind of a gang who siphoned £1.3m from Barclays by hacking into bank computers. He also stole the bank cards of 24,000 customers, which he used to purchase luxury goods at Harrods and Selfridges.
