## Resource

Former AFL star Nick Stevens is heading to jail for nine months after being convicted of swindling six Mildura families out of over $167,000 by promising luxury pools he couldn’t deliver—no license, no permits, no insurance. The judge condemned his exploitation of trust, noting his guilt deepened as he kept taking money after warnings. Already serving 78 days, Stevens also faces a two-year community order with 120 hours of unpaid work. A cautionary tale: fame doesn’t guarantee legitimacy—always verify credentials.
