Woman Steals $10,000 And Spends It On FrontierVille
As reported on SeattleWeekly, prosecutors in Snohomish County a 47 year old woman unlawfully loaded nearly $10,000 on her credit card and spent it all on FrontierVille.
Rebecca Lynn Riley-Terry unlawfully loaded her own credit card through her employer and spent around $2000 per month on the popular Facebook video game.
Even though we don’t condone theft of any form, one might suggest she would be wise to spend the money on something else. Who else would spend $10,000 on a Facebook game?
She repaid $800 of the money back, although it will take her a long time to pay off the rest of the debt.
I think the money should have been spent on a shrink.

@Argent: It’s a sign of a much bigger problem. Games that are designed to exploit the human psyche. These game makers prey on the weak.
