It's true. All of it.
My dad was a victim. Turned up at his shop and demanded £54,000.
Ransacked my parents house and took away anything of value.
Forced my parents to sell their shop (to the post office!).
My parents had to leave their home behind, in disgrace, and try to start a new life elsewhere. They barely went outside for the next 20 years.
The people missing from this drama, are the investigators, who had a financial incentive NOT to investigate.
Their annual bonus was based on the amount of 'missing' money they could recover, so instead of investigating, they just demanded cash.
