Real-life Hustle conman faces jail for 2012 fraud | News: "millionaire retired advertising executive who helped a gang based on the TV drama Hustle to swindle dozens of pensioners out of their life savings was facing jail today.
Derek Voysey, 63, was nicknamed Albert Stroller by his fellow fraudsters, after the conman played by Robert Vaughn in the hit BBC series.
Voysey played a central role in the crime, a Southwark crown court jury heard. Teams of cold callers rang victims and offered them a chance to invest in what they claimed was a lucrative property portfolio near the 2012 Olympic Games site. The gang backed up their promises of high returns with glossy brochures and fake share certificates, making £286,000 during 2006 and 2007."
