It was a pretty crazy act especially when it was a woman that made me open my mind a little where in the end regardless of gender when someone already has a big addiction then they will not think logically especially in gambling.
But on the other hand, cases like this have also become commonplace because several times in my country there was also a similar case where there was someone who worked in a bank but actually embezzled the customer's money even a much larger nominal because if calculated in the dollar exchange rate, the total nominal used was more than $70000.

It's important to note that there are a number of different types of gambling that can be done by anyone, but not everyone can do gambling maturely because it is not uncommon for many who gamble in the end to be unable to escape the problem of addiction so that we must still be able to control ourselves properly when we are in gambling so that we don't let the activities we do harm ourselves and others.

It is unfortunate that a lady at that age could do such a thing to satisfy her gambling urge. This is the extent to which an addicted gambler could go just to make sure that they gamble.
Looking at it from the professional angle, she just breached the banking code of engagement to have stolen money from the elderly as a result of their ill health thinking they would not know about it. This act of hers is unprofessional and would be made to face disciplinary actions.
Like the other poster had said, we should endeavour to monitor financial transactions of our elders ie out parents, uncles, aunt's, etc so that they do not gave same treatment from the bank or whatever you call them. I believe sometimes why the bankers does this is because they do not see any young person going to the bank with the so they feel like the elder is all alone and if they steal from them they would not know and so they go on with their wicked act by stealing from their accounts. I believe the law would hold her accountable for her actions.

If you're deep into gambling, you will create plans based on your job just to steal to feed your addiction. She planned everything, and she knew her target, and she was able to do it and almost escape from his evil deeds.
But we all know we are dealing with a bank. We all know that all your actions inside the bank are being monitored so even if she is that good with her plans, the bank will eventually discover, too bad for her, she will go to jail, and even if she gets out, she cannot practice here profession as her license will be revoked.
People who have a big ambition to fulfill their ego, namely meeting the needs of their gambling addiction, will do any tricks and ways so that they can get money to gamble, maybe this is one case that we can see, how someone can plan a theft to get money. There are other addicts who resort to extortion or violence, sell their property or their family just to get money and be able to gamble contentedly. But we all know we are dealing with a bank. We all know that all your actions inside the bank are being monitored so even if she is that good with her plans, the bank will eventually discover, too bad for her, she will go to jail, and even if she gets out, she cannot practice here profession as her license will be revoked.
Again, the never-ending problem of addiction makes a person think maliciously just to get money, and what makes him upset is to gamble, a prison sentence for that employee is a place for rehabilitation in my opinion, because he will be away from the internet or gambling environment he will receive direct guidance from police officers to become a good person when socializing again after getting out of prison.
There is no need to feel sorry for a person like this, because it is his time to learn and understand his mistakes and repent for the excessive gambling that brought him that far.

As I understand it, the dumbest people go to prison and this is exactly the case
In her situation, it was naive to think that her tricks would go unnoticed, maybe the plan was to win a lot of money and then return the stolen goods? In any case, I would not blame gaming addiction for everything - such crimes are committed even simply from greed or the desire for easy money.

When a person reaches a high level of gambling addiction, it is not difficult for her to commit any criminal act because she cannot remain normal during that time. I think the woman what she did must have forgotten about her career at least for a while otherwise she couldn't have committed that kind of crime. She may have lost money in gambling which she eventually had to steal to recover, but she had no idea that she would be caught. Now if she faces punishment then she will definitely lose his job because those who commit crimes like theft have no chance to work in the backing sector.
Yeah, that is right because when someone addicted to gambling, he can commit any criminal act to have money so he can continue playing gambling. That is happens to that woman who stole customer's money to playing gambling and that is a criminal because he doing a wrong thing.Her career will end as soon as the court gives punishment to her and she lost her job and she will difficult to find a new job. Addicted to gambling gives more trouble to someone, especially when he/she doing a bad thing such as commit crimes so he/she can have money.
Playing gambling must have control so they don't have to gets addicted to gambling. Now, she must regret of what her doing and will not doing that again while she must cure her addiction.

In the last two months of her employment, the 28-year-old stole money from four customers, with the thefts only being discovered when one of them queried receiving a letter about money being withdrawn from a dormant account.
TSB Bank teller stole $28,000 from customers to feed her gambling addictionHow far do people go to feed a gambling addiction?
In this story we have a young bank teller, 28 years old lady, who stole 28,000$ from four different elders who were suffering from health and cognitive problems. Her goal was to fuel a gambling addiction, as presented by the defense at the court.
Families must be attentive to their elders when going to the bank and dealing with money in general. Scammers and thieves are everywhere and always ready to take advantage of the vulnerability of such individuals at an advanced age.
So folks, be more mindful of how you spend your money, be extra careful when you're gambling. You don't wanna end up like this girl who willingly put shit at stake just cause she couldn't control herself and would much rather be put in jail than deal with her gambling addiction.

Before we even talk about her gambling addiction.. 2 months into her job and the employee is already siphoning money out of the customers accounts smh.. You know what clearly this company has poor controls towards the running of the business and a person new to the business isn't suppose to have easy access to the money and I wouldn't be surprised if there is more dormant funds she has used to fund her habits.
As of the addiction, let's just say this employee doesn't respect their job which helps pay her bills, but now that her operation is burst perhaps she will learn the hardway... Btw worst case scenario will be getting blacklisted in her profession which will leave a mark.
After what he will be held accountable for by law, I also agree that this employee will find it increasingly difficult to get the same job in the future. His legal history will clearly make other companies consider not accepting him as an employee, so his life will clearly become more difficult financially. Once he was discovered to be dishonest, everyone no longer trusted him and gave him a job. As of the addiction, let's just say this employee doesn't respect their job which helps pay her bills, but now that her operation is burst perhaps she will learn the hardway... Btw worst case scenario will be getting blacklisted in her profession which will leave a mark.

In my opinion, it is the banks that should more carefully check (monitor the work for absence of abuse of official position) of their employees (young cashiers of 28 years old).Scammers and thieves are everywhere
And it is probably unacceptable for them to work where they need to work with client’s money.

This kind of act is not common and merely seems I possible because it was a lady being involved in this kind of act and not a man, well we cannot predict what can comes out of anyone at anything time as people remain u predictable a times, furthermore, I believe there is high standard for competency in demands for bankers to be employed for their job, I don't know what may have come over this lady to have taken such kind of decision and act, I can only say that she habr gone too far with the whole thing being a woman, it's highly disappointing.
on which is really that involved into such condition on which we know that this isnt really that something that we can see it on everyday because if ever there would really be some instances
such as this then it would really be that usually be that involved by a man because we are the ones who could really be that easily be making up some stupid decisions whether from their work
or into other aspects on which it wouldnt really be that usually be seeing that woman would really be doing.
In general, on the moment that you've seen yourself dealing up with gambling and not really that much good when it comes to self control then you would really be definitely
be ending up into this kind of condition or situation.

All because of gambling addiction or if ever just a little benefit of a doubt most are because of her addiction that's why he commit this she thinks that she got that opportunities to keep her gambling addiction while using other's money, though for sure she knows the risk as she's not innocent with the crime that she did, but due to her gambling addiction it leads her to push and continue her wrong doing, she will serve her punishment after discovering her crime.
It's important to keep an eye with those old folks especially if we do have relatives or someone close to us, with this it's a good eye opener not to completely entrust your savings or your love one's saving to the bank.

That happens everywhere.Where I live the doctors were only making the 50% a chemotherapy session and 50% were adding only water to it,they were only intercepted after the special court got into them when some relatives of those people told that when those person do their chemo at a private hospital they feel much more effects and when they do it in the state they don't feel a dip shit at all.This lead to investigation and jailing the doctors for life,imagine when a doctor does that,what can you expect from a bank teller,nothing.The doctors here were gambling and making the money for a Maldive or Bahamas vacation in just a week and that is horrendous to say the least.People will do anything for their gambling addiction and all possible evil things we can imagine.It is true that elderly people are the most vulnerable and always should not go to the bank alone.

the real problem is not thinking about the long-term consequences.
How much could he have earned from his work over the years? How many lawyer expenses now will he have to face?
Well, such issues can only lead to very serious problems as in this case.
Unfortunately when you trust other people who manage your money... this can happen very easily

Moral: "Be your own bank" 
Now seriously, those who have a gambling addiction shouldn't work in certain jobs like tellers, cashiers and, in general, jobs where a lot of money through your hands. It's like the barman who has an alcoholic addiction: the combination is explosive.
It may sound a bit sexist depending on the culture of the country where you live, but it also surprised me a lot that the protagonist of the story was a woman. Definitely some kind of bias on my side, but to begin with I would trust a woman with my money more than a man.
Or better yet to avoid having a job until addiction is aided. Continuing to work will just feed a gambler's addiction. He/she won't perform that well if his/her mind is occupied with the urge of gambling and that will just cause negative impression on hiss/her portfolio. We shouldn't be taking addiction lightly 'coz the overall wellbeing of an individual is affected. Have it treated as soon as possible than to just set it aside hoping things will just happen on its own.

I am not buying the story of gambling addiction. The manner of the theft looks way too calculated and the fact that she was able to repay the entire amount stolen when caught doesn't suggest she was a gambling addict. This looks like a ploy the defense team is using to get a lesser sentence.
On the other side, this case shows how unreliable the centralized banking system truly is. You cannot verify and have to trust the system which is run by humans.

Yeah, if she actually managed to repay that money then I would seriously doubt she was fueling an addiction to gambling, otherwise there would be no penny to be collected and repay with to those victims. It is likely she was slowly accumulating money from vulnerable people, in order to retire in the future with all of it, hoping she would not be caught on time, she did though. This is likely to strategy by her lawyers to picture her as a vulnerable woman who was not sure what she was doing. I wonder why they did not go with a drug addiction story... I guess it is because it would be easier for prosecutors to find out she is not actually addicted to cocaine or other substances.
The traditional banking system has already been caught on its flaws, the recession of 2008 was just the beginning, hence the huge crypto advance we see today, compared to those times.

Too bad that these elders suffered this problem when they did nothing, this is why I'm really careful when banks officers ask me to sign signatures or offer their products, I will try to avoid anything that I can.
Man or woman, isn't the point. Women nowadays spend their money for anything they like without thinking twice, if you meet such women, you need to track her financial spending.
