Casino Slammed for Theft

As reported by the Daily Telegraph: "Star City Casino has been slammed for
acting irresponsibly by letting a lowly bank worker gamble millions of
stolen dollars as a celebrated high-roller. "The casino shirked its moral
duty when it gave high-roller status to Erick Tjandra, a 'minor servant' of
the Commonwealth Bank bank who gambled a stolen $8 million, a Sydney court
has been told. "Tjandra, 32, stole $10.4 million from dozens of bank
customers over a 15-month period to fund his addiction, the NSW District
Court was told today. ".During sentencing submissions today, Justice
Christopher Armitage said Sydney's Star City casino had failed in its 'moral
responsibility' by allowing Tjandra to gamble with the high rollers. "'To
allow a young man who is obviously a minor servant of the bank to be in the
high rollers' room was an irresponsibility,' he said. ".Judge Armitage said
this showed the casino had acted 'irresponsibly to a high degree'."
