If crypto wasn't involved, do you think this employee would have gotten fired?
well that is the game changer there , since he played using crypto as a safer chance to not being caught(at least faster lol)
because if this is about physical funds he might have a second thought of not trying such a way . but what can we do now when he already acted stupid and now will be forever a burden to his life .
If the cryptocurrency is illegal in that country then it is natural that the bank will declare the use of cryptocurrency illegal. But an employee certainly has the right to participate in gambling but if gambling and crypto currency are illegal in that country then he must have committed an offense as a bank official. But if he had used physical money, the bank might not have charged him, since he had used virtual money, of course he had committed a criminal act, for which the court ruled in favor of the bank.
