A financial advisor embezzled £170,000 from an elderly Scots widow who battled dementia by charging her up to £1000 a day to read bank statements to her.
Gordon Couch, 57, admitted levying £197-an-hour fees on vulnerable Marjorie Stewart in the years before she died aged 91.
The crook claimed the retired maths teacher was aware he was charging her massive amounts, adding she viewed it as “good value for money”.
