Default Re: CFO embezzles $500k to pay gambling debts

Crime stories are fairly common. Did you hear about Enron? How about Jim Bakker? What about all of the Catholic priest molestation stories?

There is no way to escape the fact that 3% to 4% of the population are problem gamblers or worse. Addiction to all kinds of things is about that rate, including alcohol, drugs and more. Do we belittle these sordid tales of human failure? No, but we can not escape them, either.

Closer to 1%, probably less than 1%
