US Virgin Islands casino regulator sentenced for embezzlement of money

A US Virgin Islands Casino Commission employee whose duty it was to provide guidance on responsible gaming received a 44-month prison sentence on Tuesday for embezzling commission money.

Despite having no prior experience in the industry, she was chosen as the commission president's contractor in 2015 and became the regulator's first certified gambling specialist.

Prosecutors claim that she then went shopping with commission money and lavished on pricey clothes and entertainment.
