Medical student wins lottery 5 times after embezzling graduation funds

[Issa56]

he has been heavily addicted to gambling because he should only chase victory and leave gambling.

She is definitely addicted to gambling, I don't think someone that's not addicted to gambling will gamble with the money that's not his/her own, I don't think their is any assurance that you are going to win when gambling, when gambling the chances of winning and losing is just 50/50, so why will you use the money that's not your own to do what you are not assured of win. Definitely she have being doing it before and probably she have been winning but she is not lucky this time around. She have to be forced to pay back the money so that she can learn her lesson.

In gambling a gambler should gamble with his own earned money. If one conducts gambling with parents' money or common people's accumulated money, he will certainly face big disaster. Moreover, when a gambler makes a decision to place a large bet with someone else's money, it is considered a suicidal decision. The most appropriate rule is that if a gambler loses money, he is not liable to anyone. Gambling should be done with money that has legal works or earnings to recover.

[Oshosondy]

I think this is a clear case of gambling addiction. Any gambler that goes to the extent of using another people's funds at his/her disposal to gamble needs help because such person has lost control of his gambling behavior.

Yes it is gambling addiction, but as she misappropriated public money, it is indiscipline and an act of theft which can result to jail term. It is truly an addiction but this kind of addiction is stupidity. I have been addicted before, but not with public money. For gambling, gamblers should only gamble with their own money, but like I said before, some go to the extent of using their parents money to gamble, that is stupidity too. Gamblers should always know that the consequences of gambling can be fatal if using high amount of money, gambling should just be for fun.

For an addicted gambler, the temptation to use other people's money is very strong, it started with a small bet then he chases his losses, until he losses the money that is not his, that's what happens to the girl in the article, this is the gravest sin of gamblers, gambling not with his own money, this is one of the reasons why companies do background checking on their employees holding a position about finances in the company to see if he has a gambling addiction.

[pawanjain]

Too little was said about the personality of the woman. It was said she is a very intelligent person, although being private and quiet, doesn't share details of her personal life with classmates.

If she was an intelligent person she wouldn't have gambled her classmates' money at the very first place.
Secondly, she thought she would get away with it just by saying she lost the money.
This makes it easy for us to guess that she was not an intelligent person but an over confident gambling addict.

It's a shame on her that she used her classmates' money to gamble and lost it.
Just think how hard they must be earning the money and paying for the graduation fees.
How can she even think of betraying her classmates and their emotions and especially their studies.
I hope the police takes strict action against her and makes her pay all the funds lost.
She must be imprisoned and pay for her mistakes.

Now imagine such an irresponsible and egoistical person was going to graduate and become a medical to take care of human lives. Imagine the kind of professional she was going to be...

Exactly. She doesn't deserve to get a medical degree. Her nature speaks about herself.
Such a doctor could have a dangerous impact on other people's lives.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I think she is really in sin, but medical students are really more sensible and calculative to have lowered themselves so badly like she did and gambled with money that was not hers, money that was not even one person's fund. Well, the deal has been done, let her face every penalty that is due for her crime. 

If anyone could remember earlier before now, I once said I had a friend back then in school. This guy was a chronic gambling addict; nothing could stop him; he picked pockets, stole, gambled with his shoe, clothes, phone, and anything within his reach. He was arrested and detained in the cell for months, but each time he is released, he goes back to what he knows how to do. 

A lottery representative attended Deic and said that the woman had been betting every day,

more like an addict 🙄, who knows how many times she was betting each in a day.., maybe countlessly.

[buwaytress]

Got to be one of the most misleading headlines I've read recently heh. She didn't win the lottery, she lost all her money gambling. That's really the headline, here, no?

I mean, you lose at poker or black jack or roulette, and you don't mention how many rounds you win before eventually busting (you can even win more hands than lose as people like me usually bust when chasing losing streaks).

Yes, you are right. I just copied the title of the news, but I guess the main point should be the loss, instead of the temporary winnings.

Who should we trust those money if we don't know who should we trust? It's unfortunate for someone especially when it's a student who are eaten by the addiction of gambling it's like a drugs to them that they never thought they could control in the end. It's always a hard lesson for someone when they were involved in gambling there's always a huge tendency that they can't handle all of those losses since they were trying to chase their losses but they can't beat the system.

That's because they don't have money left and then they already sold all their valuable items and have pending loans but their urge to gamble is still there and it became more intense than before so their only hope to gamble again is to steal someone else money. There is no way that an addicted gambler will bet small, more if the money they gamble is not theirs. They will have no fear of losing it and they don't also care if what can happen to them once they get caught out.

For now, what is important for them is to feed their appetite and that is to play gambling. That is how dangerous being addicted to gambling, so it's important to know the signs and prevent it early before it gets worse.

If she's old enough which I believe she is, then nothing should stop her from going to jail, she's a criminal and should be treated as one, if it was her money or maybe her school fees she's lost through gambling, then I believe this wouldn't be a case at all, but gambling with public funds is way too extreme and one that must not be swept under the carpet, she should be made to serve as an example to those who might want to try the same thing in the future and hope to get away with it.
200,000 dollars is no small amount of money, and I can't imagine how many of the parents who went through hell to make sure they get this money to pay for their ward, this is an act that shouldnt be encouraged In our society.
I really feel sorry for the school and the students, this would probably be the worst graduation ceremony that school will have in their record, I hope they get through it..

This is an educational setting issue, the money belong to the class which is part of. And I think she is the class representative so there is a way the school handle such case and not a jail term. The school must have a security post to settle cases like this. The first thing to do is to inform the parents of the girl about the issue, and either the girl pays the money or the parents. And also give her extension of her schooling years as a punishment.

A brazilian medicine college student diverted almost 200.000$ from the graduation comission's funds, which belonged to her whole class, to place high bets through the national lottery.

She won sometimes on short run, but after all, faced a huge loss and went into almost 40.000$ debt. After scamming the lottery, the police department was triggered and the investigation has started.

She was investigated for money laundering and embezzlement. Later on, it was discovered the funds' origin.

Meanwhile, the class students became suspicious about the situation after the woman told on her class Whatsapp's group funds raised for graduation were lost after she invested it in a brokerage firm and was scammed by it, but no further documents and evidences could be provided, because everything was robbed!

Since then, no more updates about the case have been shared on the news. It happened about 2 weeks ago.

Is this news from the village of fools? 
200 thousand dollars is a serious amount, was there really no control over it? Also, if their class consisted of 30 students, does each of them contribute $6,500? Maybe I didn’t understand something, but isn’t this a huge amount for such an event?

She got addicted and their classmates trust her with the funds because for sure she is trustworthy, its just that gambling takes over her. Too bad for a student to experience this and I hope that she can still recover from this and be better. This is a big lesson to her and I’d hope that her family will help her and will not abandon her. This is a reminder that we should gamble only with our own money, don’t be greedy if you can’t afford it.

Maybe she’s mature enough seeing how far she have got embezzling all those funds all for her selfish desires. That student must probably be facing gambling addiction and she can’t control anymore her actions and decisions that made this whole mess up. I felt sorry for all her colleagues that they went through all of this because of an irresponsible student. If she can’t be put in jail, then she should be given proper sanction that will leave her a very big lesson not to do the same mistake again.

I agree, well what can we expect? News today is more on exaggerated titles and often misleading ones for click-baiting.

I mean, you lose at poker or black jack or roulette, and you don't mention how many rounds you win before eventually busting (you can even win more hands than lose as people like me usually bust when chasing losing streaks).

True, those lottery wins are not worth mentioning( because they aren't a jackpot) at all let alone being a title of news.  It is more fitting to say just the person embezzled money due to gambling addiction.

Probably he is holding all the funds for all graduating classes at the university.  I believe it is for graduation thing, so I think there is more than 1 class involved.

Definitely, she needs a punishment here to learn from her mistakes.
But some people won't change if it is already embedded to their system.
However, a heavy penalty such as going to jail may give her some time to think about her life.
Addiction would really give you trouble if you are not using your own money, and can ruin other people's lives.
If the sentence will be light, she may just go on with her gambling habits.

[blockman]

Exactly. She doesn't deserve to get a medical degree. Her nature speaks about herself.
Such a doctor could have a dangerous impact on other people's lives.

I agree whether that person will become a nurse or a doctor or any other allied medical profession in the future. The danger is there and the mindset and decision-making will affect future patients and that's why I agree that she should just be banned from taking any licensure exam in the medicine field.
Yeah, there's the 2nd chance but the profession that she's trying to take is all about someone's life and taking care of it and with known addiction in gambling, there could be something else.

[maydna]

We see one more case of people using other people's money just for gambling, which may be another case of gambling addiction. She should be able to keep the money and not be tempted to use it for gambling. She really needs to get help to overcome her gambling problem and not let her do it again in the future. But at least she should get punished for what she did so he doesn't repeat it in the future. If it were her own money, maybe that would be fine, but the problem was she was using many people's money and had to be accountable to all of them as well.

Myself too had this experience. He send me 3 Ethereum to cashout and I used it to gamble. I was able to win 0.5 Ethereum. The greed didn't left me, and I wanted to change it to 1 Ethereum as profit. Even the 1 Ethereum profit is being achieved and the greed continued. This made me loss everything and I borrowed money to settle my friend. This activity is really bad and later only I understood what wrong thing I've done.

Medical student wins lottery 5 times after embezzling graduation funds

this is a pretty crazy story that i've read, how can he be trusted to handle other students' funds which are quite large, does no one know the history of the student's gambling activity?  

Victims must keep pushing to keep this case up because letting her get away with it will only make her happy and will definitely repeat such fraudulent activities in the future.  Gambling or placing bets/lottery with other people's money is the stupidest thing that greedy gamblers do.
