Yep. Interesting. We’ve mentioned her on a few different threads now. I’ve read a ton of posts from various publications and I think it’s safe to say the vast majority of people (based on comments on the comments section) don’t feel sorry for her.
And I think most people would clearly say that the “brain tumor made me do it” excuse no one is buying. She is still an intelligent woman that managed to hide her addiction from the general public for many years. Lots of degenerate gamblers that have that addiction manage to do the same thing with help from “enablers”.
Lots of excuses from the death of her husband and death of friends, to her dad being a bookie, to her brain tumor. She is a smart woman. She should own up to it, admit her horrible gambling addiction and try to pick up the pieces of her life and move on.
One thing I think needs to be said is shame on her family and friends that knew about her addiction. I mean she sounds very close to her twin sister (who was also a trustee in the charitable foundation which she ROBBED of $2+ million bucks). So many people seemed to enable her and help her hide this hideous addiction. No way she spent that much time in the casinos and they didn’t know about this problem.
Besides her twin sister, there was another trustee in that charitable foundation. That trustee also dropped the ball and had to have known she robbed millions out of it. If not, then why? They were totally asleep at the wheel and I hope they aren’t a trustee in any other foundations.
It seems like lots of people are trying to justify why she did it. No one can justify what she did. You take some random person that robs $2 million and they would be in jail for a long time. But she will never see a day in jail for robbing $2 million from people that so desperately needed it.
And to people that try to make excuses for her. The only thing I’d say is I doubt you would be making excuses if she robbed $2 million from YOU or your family or if your kid depended on some life saving surgery that the foundation could have funded.
Shame on her. Shame on her enablers. I mean come on! I took the IRS to be the ones that unraveled this addiction and theft!
