An Adelaide man who posed as a spy and boasted of having people kidnapped, tortured and even killed has been jailed for elaborate scams to con former AFL players out of thousands of dollars.
Samuel Hastings pleaded guilty to three counts of blackmail. His victims included former Sydney Swans and St Kilda players Robbie Neill and Troy Gray.
In 2008, Hastings used his friendship with Neill to con him into believing his and his partner’s lives were at risk.
