'Free' Office Mgr Allegedly Helped Husband Steal Over $2M from Law Firm
A ‘free’ office manager helped her husband steal over $2 million from a British law firm that funded the couple’s lavish lifestyle, reports the BBC News.
A Leeds Crown Court jury found Simon Morgan, 50, guilty of six theft counts. His wife, Ann, 55, wasn’t fit to stand trial for her role in allegedly helping him take money from the Milners law firm to fund a lavish lifestyle and pay for luxuries including a deposit on a Ferrari.
The Daily Mail provides additional details about the credit card bills, designer clothes, hotel rooms, restaurant meals and vacations that the couple reportedly covered with the help of law firm funds.
At one point, the newspaper says, the family took a trip to Antigua that cost some $30,000.
