A hotel manager scammed 50 of his employees out of £470,000 in a large scale fraud operation.
Michael Stainer, 74, gave his staff at The Grand fake and misleading payslips showing 'proof' that they made income tax and national insurance contributions.
But a court heard the fraudster instead pocketed the cash and used it to pay the mortgages for apartments within the Grade-II listed building in Folkestone, Kent - which was once frequented by the Royal Family.
