He unlawfully secured a second Bounce Back Loan of £37,500 while exaggerating his company's turnover and failing to disclose a previous loan. The UK Insolvency Service highlighted the gravity of his actions, which exploited resources meant for struggling businesses. Connelly's financial mismanagement led to his company entering liquidation with unpaid loans. He was also disqualified from being a company director for six years due to these offenses.
