Another Victim Embezzles

Roulette Addict Embezzles Hundreds of Thousands of Pounds

An accounts assistant was just sentenced to two years in jail for gambling away about vast amounts of his clients’ money. Bryan Kettle became addicted to online roulette and used the money of several companies he worked for, to bankroll his habit. In sum, he paid bookmakers £120,000 for roulette games.

This large sum of money was stolen over a period of four and a half years, beginning in 2003. His gambling addiction was believed to have started in 2002. Overall, Kettle has spent about £160,000 on online roulette games and lost £50,000. The companies he embezzled money from included Marmions Restaurant, Border Bingo Clubs and an unnamed third party. Kettle was able to successfully steal cash because he had access to pre-signed checks. Thus far, Bryan Kettle has paid back £40,000 from the sale of his home. No word on whether or not, he will be forced to pay back more of the stolen money.
