Bank Supervisor Jailed for Gambling Away Money
BB&T CorporationA former supervisor at the US bank BB&T has been jailed for 18 months, after it was revealed she had gambled away over $200,000 (£124,000) to feed her gambling addiction. Quiana Dantelle Ruffin admitted to stealing the cash in order to gamble online, purchase lottery tickets and make trips to the nearby Atlantic City.
Ruffin pleaded guilty to embezzlement, which was found out in mid-2008, when a routine audit turned up cash anomalies. Employees at the bank managed to trace the cash shortages to the cash dispenser Ruffin was in charge of and the supervisor was fired in August 2008. While prosecutors were hoping for a lengthier sentence, Judge Timothy J. McCrone ruled that Ruffin should serve no longer than 18 months in prison.
