[3] Eldorado, which starred Daryl Hannah, David Carradine and Michael Madsen, was filmed mostly at Higher Nanpean Farm in Cornwall, a small production facility owned by Driscoll.
[5] Once Eldorado was released, HM Revenue and Customs began an investigation into Driscoll and the production accounting of the film.
[6] Driscoll had greatly inflated the budget of the film to claim VAT refunds on money the production had not spent.
Other false invoices claimed Daryl Hannah was purportedly paid £575,000 for seven days' shooting at and travel to Driscoll's studio in Cornwall, even though all of her scenes were shot in Los Angeles.
[3][4] In June 2013, Driscoll was found guilty of a £1.5 million VAT fraud involving inflating the values of invoices for projects including Eldorado, and two other films, Watchmen of Hellgate and Back2Hell.
