Its hard for me to understand how someone could accept any explanation for being able to purchase a $8.8m house on a "low 6 figures" salary. To me thats the most idiotic thing - the guy just flat out SPENT the money, all likely in one sum.

He can just say he bought a bunch of bitcoin in 2016 with his own money that he never told her about >.<

I used to work in retail and one of the managers ended up stealing about $350,000 cash from the store. Her partner worked at the same store and claimed that he didn't know anything about the situation but I just don't know how a spouse could have that much extra money, multiple years of their salaries and not realise that either this person is amazing with finances or something fishy is going on.

I worked at a company where the receptionist was married to one of two salesmen. She was feeding her husband leads, depriving the other guy. They were both 19 or 20, and he bought a brand-new Porsche, which maybe should have been a clue... but they were cute, naive (hah, so we thought), Mormon kids -- who would suspect them? Eventually, they got greedy and started scumming the other guy's accounts. When one of those accounts was a personal friend of the original salesman, it all blew up. Personally, I see no reason to assume the wife didn't know. Presumption of innocence is the duty of our courts. And fwiw, I don't presume she's guilty, either.

Who says she knew what his salary was?

  If you’re married and own property together, it’s stupid to not know the others financial state.

    But he's a fraudster, you don't think he could manage to mislead her?

He claimed he was part of an "investment group".

Did you read the article? He bought properties for investment (and a home for him I guess). The Kings got back more money than he stole, even with discounting at the risk-free rate.
