Summary
A Sydney postal worker got a 15-year jail sentence for leading a crew that stole over 100,000 AUD in fraudulent purchases using stolen bank cards — all fueled by a gambling addiction.

The judge called the crime severe, emphasizing that addiction alone doesn’t excuse breaking the law — and this case serves as a chilling warning about the cost of unchecked desperation.
