Stole $160K

A 63 year old woman was put into jail after stealing around $160K from her husband’s clients to help her gambling addiction. Although her husband paid back all the money his wife took, the judge said he had no choice but to sentence her to a 10-month jail term. The husband thought his wife was going to play Bingo to help relieve stress and had no clue she was actually at slot machines. The paper claims that she had already spent $200K of their money before she started stealing it. Pretty crazy, it seems like I read a story like this once a week.

Seriously.  Personally I could never be with somebody like that, her husband still lost his job even after paying back all of the money plus interest!  I don't know how long she thought she could get away with this.... she completely betrayed her husband all for nothing!

I woudn't be able to stay with someone like that either! $200K and then anothet $160K and she actually stole it too??? Personaly if I was the husband I think I would help her get the treatment she needs and once shes done with gambling I'd file for a divorce, I wouldn't be able to stay with someone like that.
