“But Poirot, I really don’t see why it would profit Davidson to take Winters in on his scam. Surely he would then have to split what he made, if not half and half, at least it would reduce his earnings and increase the risk of someone finding out.”

“But no, my dear Japp. Davidson knew this particular scam had what might be called a limited run, and that run was coming to an end. By involving Winters, he has found himself a very satisfying scapegoat for when the time comes. And he can walk away scot-free, as you call it.”

Very in-character. I feel this could have been lifted from canon.
