A man in California embezzled 4.8 million dollars from his employer. He invested 1 million in a browser game.
A 45-year-old man from Rocklin, California, has pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering: He embezzled 4.8 million US dollars from his employer. This occurred from 2008 to 2015.
He spent most of the money on fast cars, NBA season tickets for the Sacramento Kings, and furniture. However, one million also went into “Game of War,” a game similar to Clash of Clans.
Game of War is mainly known for featuring US model Kate Upton in a provocative manner, which has nothing to do with the actual gameplay.
The man is expected to be sentenced in March. In the worst case, he faces 20 years in prison.
Quite bizarre overall, similarly bizarre is this story:
