Local Financial Advisor Charged With Bilking Customer

Federal prosecutors have charged a Columbus financial advisor with getting rich off the back of a disabled woman. Jason Cox is accused of pocketing more than 160-thousand-dollars from a fund set up for a client's developmentally-disabled daughter. The feds got involved after bank officials became suspicious about checks written to Cox from the victim's account.
