That's rough. I once knew a guy at work who was suffering from gambling addiction. Actually pretended $600 was stolen from him at work just so he could have a report to show his landlord or something bonkers.
I also knew a lady who had broken her arm, waited until the next day and then pretended she fell at work, got rushed to the hospital and immediately got LNI. The temp who was replacing her discovered like $50k in fraudulent checks.
Every single penny had gone to slot machines, of all things.
