Spanish term or phrase: Aquiles Cuesta Caro
Es la portada de un periodico reciente: "Aquiles Cuesta Caro detenido por fraude fiscal."

I realise this is a play on words but I can't seem to come up with a good rendition of it. I was wondering if any of you had any ideas. It appears in a video game and should be put into UK English. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Explanation:
Always weird to translate these puns, but here's the first one I can come up with.
Not sure you can change the gender of the character (dont know if it is only a written text, or if the character actually shows as a man/woman somewhere).
Hidden sentence: "May money come to me"

Explanation:
Another dumb idea playing more with the concept of repetition. Might give you a better idea if you cannot find it suitable though.
