He Wore His Real Name While Stealing Millions - The Professor Ghost

The thought of a con man who uses his real name draws a quieter, colder dread: Robert Hyams walked into Christie's in February 2002 with a forged bank document for up to £5,000,000 and still signed every lease, check, and court paper with his own name-so why did he keep daring people to trust him? What drove a University of Warwick-trained scientist to repeat frauds across countries for fifteen years while never hiding who he was?
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events from his 1990 bankruptcy through the Christie's scandal, showing the methods, arrests, and courtroom moments that define Hyams's career in deception; we close on the question of whether his crimes were about money or something else he couldn't stop doing.
Person: Robert Hyams
Date of birth: 13 May 1954
Education: Master's degree from the University of Warwick
Event: Christie's auction fraud, February 2002
Court: Southwark Crown Court judgment, 20 January 2006
- Hyams presented a forged bank document claiming spending authority of up to £5,000,000 at Christie's in February 2002.
- His daughter won six paintings worth over £1,000,000 at the Christie's auction on his behalf.
- On 20 January 2006 a judge said Hyams appeared to have "almost a compulsion to deceive people" after he pleaded guilty to 10 charges and asked the court to consider 77 additional offenses.
- Between 1990 and 2005 Hyams committed repeated frauds across multiple countries, with arrests and prison sentences during that period.
- In approximately 1992 Hyams was convicted on 19 counts of deception, sentenced to four years (reduced to one year on appeal), involving £236,000 taken from a farming community.
