If crypto wasn't involved, do you think this employee would have gotten fired?
It’s same scenario. It’s conflict of interest for someone who work in the bank that has gambling habits since they are prone for addiction.
The court will not side with the bank if there’s no terms that backed the company to fire the employee. You can consider this case as high risk for the bank to have a gambler employee. Besides, how will the bank knew that he is gambling if doesn’t show any sign of gambling habits at work.
