TSB Bank teller stole $28,000 from customers to feed her gambling addiction

How 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.
At first I was even looking at this story to be linked to a man but surprisingly, I don't know that females can still get this far be of being a gambling addict to steal such an amount of money, This is addiction and greed coupled together, I guess her aim of stealing this money would have been that she wanted to double down the money since it wasn't that a little amount, hoping that she will make an huge amount of profit.
Its unusual since usually men would really be that getting involved on such situations on which we know that men are really that high risks takers and taking up some actions on which they do know that they would really be putting themselves at trouble, but looking into this scenario then its really that totally different since we are involving a bank teller which is a woman which is really that very unusual.

Speaking about addiction then we do know that there's no such thing about exemptions or having those exclusions about on who would be the one to be that ending up into this kind of condition.
Everyone would really be having those chances or conditions that they would really be getting addicted. On the the moment that they would really be working into something which connects about
money and other similar firm then high chances that they would really be finding up ways that they could be able to make use of someones funds without any consent. They do know on what are the processes
and on what are the possible bypasses for them not to get caught.

You would really be ending up on such condition if you are really that making that addiction would control over you. You are the ones who would really be putting up
yourself on such trouble on which if you do find yourself that being highly reactive to gambling then you should have quit up earlier and dont wait up for things to becomes messy.
