Mrs Salmon has been speaking about how her father Richard Burden became a victim of the scam, although his case was not part of the trial.
Mr Burden, who lived in Offenham, Worcestershire, died in 2024 aged 87.
“They defrauded my father of £130,200 between 3 May and 2 November 2018 after staff at Imperial Wines befriended and cajoled him into investing by lying and manipulating him before finally abandoning him,” she told the BBC.
“He was a vulnerable, elderly, lonely, bereaved widower. He trusted them. He didn’t think for a moment that he was being scammed of a large chunk of his life-savings.”
His daughter praised investigators as “brilliant”, but said “their job isn’t done”.
“Trading Standards, and ideally the police, now need to conduct a thorough investigation into the assets belonging to these shameless criminals and seize them,” she said.
“I didn’t hear one word of remorse.
