A few days ago, the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), as one of the oldest organisations for gambling issues, has published the results of a recent study on gambling behaviour. It specifically tackles the gambling behaviour of US-Americans, whereby it is notable, that the danger of gambling addiction in young people is especially high. But why is it that young people gamble more often than older people?
The famous US student fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi was a victim of fraud which involved millions. The former chief financial controller Curtis D. Anderson (58) embezzled around three Million US-Dollar from the organisation within a long period of time. He used this substantial sum of money to finance his gaming addiction. In December 2018 the 58-year old Anderson was relieved of his duties. Now the federal prosecutor has pressed charges against the fraudster. In the following article we will reveal which penalty the former chief financial controller is facing and if this type of fraud would also be possible in a German organisation.
