another arsehole lawyer gets away with stealing
Jan 16^th, 2019 at 9:02pm

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/trusted-lawyer-transferred-millions-f...

A city lawyer who stole from his high-profile client to feed his gambling addiction of up to $3 million a day was yesterday jailed for a maximum of six years.

Brody Jack Clarke, 36, who worked for top flight firm Atanskovic Hartnell, fraudulently transferred $9,753,070 from business bank accounts associated with WIN television chief Bruce Gordon into his own Westpac account.

In the District Court, Judge Mark Williams said Clark had became friendly with Mr Gordon, was jokingly referred to as his son, was able to ring him directly at his home in Bermuda, and oversaw the renovation of his home units in Sydney.

While Clarke wrote the Constitution and Code of Professional Conduct for the Personal Insolvency Professionals Association, he had poor financial management skills himself and despite earning good money, racked up a debt of $50,000 on credit cards and borrowings from his parents and partner.

His gambling began small but by the time he was found out in September 2017, he was betting an average of over $3 million per day on football games around the world including $1.2 million on two American football games, $1 million on a New Zealand provincial rugby game and $1.5 million on a rugby league match between Sydney Roosters and North Queensland Cowboys.

Clarke was spending $500 a week on cocaine and at Atanskovic Hartnell he worked seven days a week, sometimes living in his car in the firm’s car park and showering at the gym.

Clarke pleaded guilty to six counts of fraud and was jailed for a non-parole period of three years with a maximum of six years

seriously you can steal a zillion and only get 3 years what a joke...

almost makes it worthwhile

Really?

Sounds like you have the same unhealthy obsession with money that aquascoot has.

I wouldn't do one year in prison for 1 billion dollars.

Yes - because you're a financial idiot and would die in a Prison.
I would have a posse of 'protectors' in that prison who will all get their 'cut' of my $3 million ...a DAY, when I get out.

Every minute you waste in prison, is gone forever.

Give me minutes over money, any day of the week.

Indeed.

I'd be keeping the soap firmly in my hands.

You'd be dropping bars one after the other to keep yourself alive.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

In Prison they say "You can always tell a latent homosexual. They always think of the 'soap' thing regardless, before anyone else, in a conversation."

Now, in this Topic - I didn't mention anything about 'soap', let alone 'before' you did.

You are a latent Homosexual in denial.
Explains your pre-ejaculatory accusations against Bobby.
Are you from Thailand?
I'm curious Tongue

No need.

Just knowing I have some is comfort enough.

You have your soap bars though, so don't be too despondent.
