The evidence showed Grant had spent more than $600,000 on personal expenses, luxury purchases, private trips, and payments connected to companies he controlled.
He had also attempted to create false paperwork suggesting Grandma approved decisions she never made.

It was the proof that quiet dedication will eventually defeat people who only know how to make noise.
