Shane Hatton was employed by the Wrights in 2011 and over a 10-year period made 700 transfers from her clients' accounts worth $1.5 million.Shane Hatton has been jailed for stealing $1.5 million from the Wright family."I had enough of living a double life," Hatton told the court when she was questioned why it took a decade to confess.
"My relationships with my parents are still damaged because of the anger issues I had around this", he said."I was still being stolen from while I could barely walk and while doctors were saying I would never work again... I wanted to retire but I couldn't financially and fought back... risking my life in the process," the statement read.Owen Wright said in a statement the financial strain added stress while suffering from a brain injury.
Hatton has been jailed for a minimum of three years for what the judge described as deliberate and calculated crimes. The mother-of-two has already repaid $100,000 but has now been ordered to pay a further $650,000, which only accounts for around half of what she stole from the Wright family.
