The details have been in the press for over a year. How did we know the extent but she didn't?! The "extent" is actually pretty irrelevant-finding out that my partner duped someone out of anything would be enough for me-even a pound! The fact that they were elderly, vulnerable men who trusted him makes it even more sick.
Her "people" saying that he had played it down to her so she didn't think it was serious just doesn't ring true-it was serious enough for him to be taken to court! How serious does conning elderly men need to be?! I have no patience for the naive little girl act
