Hamish McLaren, 54, was fleeced $70 million from hundreds of victims around the world by falsely claiming to be an investment fund manager and promising high returns.

McLaren began dating their 16-year-old granddaughter, 'Jane,' who had been in a relationship with his stepson, rather than content with just stealing their money.
