A 'vexatious' litigant who cost employers thousands by bringing a string of hopeless discrimination claims has been exposed as a thief. Youth worker Joseph Johnson, 45, was revealed by the Daily Mail in January to have launched at least 54 claims, often for racial discrimination, in a bid to 'get rich fast'. But he has now been firmly slapped down after being convicted of two counts of theft, after he stole £20,000 of charity money from a community gym.
