Seems he was more jailed over hiding his assets.

"jailed for two and a half years for hiding £2.5m worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts."

He went bankrupt owing around £50m, but seems to have thought it would be OK to squirrel away a few £m to tide him over. I have little sympathy, he is alleged to have earned £50m or so, obviously borrowed another £50m, and couldn't pay it back. Welcome to the real world Boris, money doesn't grow on trees.
