Accountant Andrew Marshall pleaded guilty to stealing $1.5 million from vulnerable clients to fuel a gambling addiction, aided by online betting apps.
Accountant Andrew Marshall pleaded guilty to stealing over $1.5 million from clients, including elderly and terminally ill victims, using funds to fuel a gambling addiction exacerbated by online betting apps.
His crimes, uncovered when a client received a tax notice prompting an account review, involved nearly 90 transactions.
One victim lost over $800,000 and criticized betting companies for enabling addiction through easy access and aggressive incentives.
The case, which echoes another 2025 case involving a financial planner who stole nearly $4.5 million for gambling, may lead to greater scrutiny of online gambling industry practices and potential legal precedents for operator accountability.
Marshall, visibly changed, was remanded in custody and will reappear in court later in November.
