Gambling with Borrowed Money

Portrait of Michael Garner.

Each time we read about a scam in the news, it will have something to do with the victims' believe in some sure win method for gambling or investment. In spite of being caught time and again, people still fall prey to these cleverly plotted but malicious plans.

This story is about Michael Garner. He is a 53-year-old self-employed financial and pensions adviser who scammed money from investors. He used money in his custody to finance his gambling habit. The more he dabbled in gambling the more he stole from the funds.

As a financial expert he did not apply any risk management rules to gambling. Being caught up by the law is the only way to stop his criminal activities. I guess not all good traders are cut out for gambling.
