The headline to this story really irks me -- it's sensational journalism at its finest.  She did steal over $500,000, which is nothing to sneeze at, and is devastating to the family involved, but it's over the top to say that she "lost" $14 Million, since she "won" over $13 Million.

That'd be like saying that I "lost" $1,500 on my last casino visit (but I "won" $1,400).


(I lost $100 the last time I went to the casino.)

I believe they said she won the 13 million, then put it all back plus a million.... loss of 14 million.
