A financial adviser in Western Australia stole almost AU$1 million (US$675,800) from clients to feed his gambling habit, according to prosecutors. If you ask him, though, he’s not guilty, and a court will now decide who’s telling the truth.
Mark Sebo faces 36 charges of stealing money from eight of his clients in just 10 days in the summer of 2019, according to The West Australian. Police arrested him that same year, while his mother saved him from jail by posting his AU$$50,000 (US$33,790) bond.
The 41-year-old disgraced adviser is now returning to court for his trial. The prosecution is confident it has the evidence it needs to prove he wasted the clients’ money through online gambling sites.
