Comment on Oink.cd founder Alan Ellis cleared of fraud chargesparent

That depends on why he was cleared. If he was cleared due to some sort of technicality or due to lack of evidence then there is no reason why he cannot be prosecuted a second time. Also if any of the relevant laws have changed in any way since 2007 (which I imagine they have) then the prosecutors can try again under these new laws. Being cleared doesn't in and of itself mean that what you where accused of isn't illegal.
