USA: lawyer gambles away more than 10 million dollar belonging to her customers

Recently, in America a lawyer had to reply for the fact that she had defrauded her investors the sum of 10 million. According to the charges, she had squandered the money in the gambling metropole of Las Vegas. Now she must pay the money back within two weeks.

A lawyer from the US Federal State of California seems to have tampered with the company money and squandered it in a luxury hotel with casino without taking heed of the losses. Thus the damage done amounted to over 10 million US-Dollar. Now the lawyer must pay back the money. Around a year ago we had already reported on GambleJoe about a bank employee who had embezzled and gambled away around 460,000 Euro.

US-lawyer gambled over 10 million dollar in Las Vegas

The American lawyer Sara King is being accused of having tampered with more than ten million Dollars from the company money and using it for gambling. The woman from Los Angeles led the American Department of the British credit institute LDR International. Her duties consisted of granting credit to well-known customers in the USA. However, she transferred the money to her own account instead of to the customers’ accounts.

The lawyer used the money she had achieved wrongly to stay in a fancy luxury hotel in the gambling metropole of Las Vegas. Even more: She played round the clock in the casino for a period of around 6 months and squandered away nearly 10.2 million. According to the charges she is being accused of 97 cases. In another article published on GambleJoe we had reported about a case from Australia where a woman had stolen 940,000 AUD and then gambled the money away the money in the social casino.

Lawyer is obviously gambling addicted

Within 6 months, Sara King had gambled away the sum of 10.2 million US-Dollar in the casino. This comes up to around 1.7 million USD per month. Or even more impressively stated: the lawyer managed to spend over 55,000 Dollar daily for a period of 6 months. Now the lawyer, who will not find a job easily now, must pay back the money within 20 days. She seems to have already stated that she has no money anymore.

Instead, King has allegedly written an email to her former employer, in which she has asked her boss for credit. She wants to use the borrowed money to win back the money she has preciously lost. From the lawyer’s actions one can obviously see that she is suffering from gambling addiction. In another handbook we reveal how one can recognise a gambling addiction in time and fight it effectively.

Conclusion

A lawyer from Los Angeles has defrauded her employer the sum of 10.2 million US-Dollar. For six whole months she gambled away the money in the gambling metropole of Las Vegas. Now the woman is not only unemployed, but she also has debts which amount to millions. She is also facing a prison sentence for her fraudulent actions.
