Over a six year period, Brooks had transferred £573,736 of customers’ money into bank accounts which he controlled.
His defender, Mark Ford, said the theft was cause by a gambling addiction which ‘exerts a vice-like grip and feeds on itself, destroying everything.’
Brooks admitted to seventeen charges of fraud between 2007 and 2013 and faces two years in prison.
