In South Korea, A bank employee was found to be playing online games that use crypto as its in game currency. The bank claimed that the employee is a habitual gambler and fired him from his job. The ex-employee naturally raised his concern to HR as he thinks it is unfair dismissal but the HR rejected his appeal which led him to file a lawsuit. In the end, even the court sided with the bank. Even though the ex-employee claims that he never played during work hours and that his habits did not interfere with his work quality, the court rules it to be undignified to be gambling with crypto.

If crypto wasn't involved, do you think this employee would have gotten fired?

I think that is really unfair. The fact that the employee never gambled during work
hours and that his gambling didn't affect his work performance should have been
the main thing to focus on.

It was clearly based on their dislike on crypto. I dont think they would have a problem
if the employee was gambling with FIAT because gambling didnt seem to be the issue
it was the Crypto factor.
