Bank teller stole $28,000 from customers to feed her gambling addiction this is must be crazy right I mean how did the teller manage to steal their customer money? and how the police know that the money was stolen.

Read the OP with the link to the news attached to it, and you’ll find out. As a bank teller, they are always dealing with money, so it’s easy for them to get tempted, especially if they’re addicted to gambling. And of course, as a bank, they have a system to trace transactions, and probably during an audit, this was discovered. As per report, one of the depositors complained, leading to an investigation that uncovered the entire amount of money being stolen from different depositors.

even my friend experienced the same thing. he is a bank branch manager. somehow he did it but the amount of customer money he used was quite large. he was caught and admitted that he did it not once but several times until he was finally caught and finally confessed.

bank tellers can do it, let alone a bank manager. they know how to hide it all. my friend admitted that he was entangled in online loans because his money was used up for gambling. while the money from the loan he used for his living needs.
we can see that the salary of a bank teller and manager is actually not small. but it's just that their behavior of gambling irresponsibly makes them always short of money to bet. Their behavior is bad because it has involved and harmed other people. and now all the bigger consequences must be accepted. refunds, prison sentences, and loss of jobs.

That kind of risk is always present since anyone dealing with money is at risk of being tempted to steal. It’s wrong if the bank doesn’t have strong internal controls to prevent that from happening. Although they can put the people involved in stealing in jail, the bank’s reputation is also affected, which could potentially result in losing clients. Since banking is a business built on trust, how can clients trust them if things like that happen within the bank?

On the moment that addiction hits hard into a certain individual and able to fail out on doing such control and moderation then you would really be that most likely be ending up with this kind of condition on which you would really be that making yourself getting involved into these acts on which we know that it could really be able to end up on having that legal punishment on the time that its been proven guilty or simply being caught.
Just like on being said or mentioned on which on the moment that you do put up yourself on such condition then it would really be that hard to control oneself on not to commit out those kind of stealing of funds
on which this is really that indeed the right place on doing such thing since this one is really that involves money. You would really be finding up ways for you to get those funds without being noticed.

As we do all know that there's no secret that would really be kept hidden forever o which you might not be caught now but sooner or later it would surely happen. This is why on the moment or time that you've seen
yourself being that addicted to gambling and since your work is connected about huge sums of money then it would really be just that right that you should really be that stopping if ever you would be having
the chance if you wont really be liking to mess up your life into his regard.

Wow guys hahah I'm still shock that my post got these much replied but I'm really agree with you that addiction to gambling is serious things and we all need to get rid of it. We need to control our gambling habit at least for now and to be honest it is crazy to see something like this ever happened

28K is a lot of money I would say according to google Bank teller salary is around 45K a year so it need at least 6 month to recover 28K

But that is if he spends nothing and uses his entire salary to pay back what he stole.

Yeah I mean the addiction is going crazy and spend those money is the real deal and 6 month is not a short of time.
