A group of four United States Postal Service workers pleaded guilty to misappropriation of funds after they stole money from the offices where they worked or through the mail itself, much of the funds used to gamble.
The latest employee to plead was Jacqueline Batiste, who worked for a post office out of New Orleans. She stole at least $1,200 in post office funds that were meant to go to deposits to the bank. She then took the funds and gambled at casinos, including Harrah's, which is located close by. Three others were also charged with the crimes, with Ryan Cortez reportedly stealing more than $630,000. Postal officials became suspicious when PayPal and eBay found out someone was selling huge amounts of stamps via the auction site.
The defendants haven't been sentenced yet, but they face years in prison as well as restitution. Needless to say, they better hope the judge "mails it in" during the sentencing phase.

This is the first rule of responsible gambling- gamble funds you can't afford to. In this case, those funds aren't even yours! That's crazy to me, to go to your work every day and just steal money to play.
My word!!! It never works... if you steal to gamble you will always come out second best. I believe if there is no money you should not gamble at all. They must learn a lesson!
That could be considered from another angle as well I gues...if a single person had been done that - he could always state he/she has lost the common sense because of the addiction and couldn't share that with anybody because...well, it's obviously a crime...but a group of people mean..there has been an intention and probably a plan...it's tough to believe they all have the same level of addiction and none of them realized what they're doing is prohibited.
But they'll pay for that big time I guess...as obviously they all pleaded guilty.
that reminds me of this brilliant flick
