Spanish term

Aquiles Cuesta Caro

Spanish to English Other Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino
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!

So is this a picture of someone reading the paper, and this is the headline? Is it anything to do with the narrative of the game, or just a random joke? Does it have to be a pun on someone's name?

Jack Pott/etc.

Some ideas:

'Jack Pott'
'Robyn Banks'
'Robyn U. Blind'
'Hugo Taway'

(I can't take credit for the first two. They were inspired by https://www.confetti.co.uk/wedding-advice/relationships/joke... - a good place to get some ideas!)

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"

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