Taking advantage of the employer’s loophole and his job, a worker stole a huge amount of Pokemon cards with prices up to billions of dong.
Kyriacos Christouwas, a warehouse worker at Magic Madhouse in the UK, has been sentenced to 16 months in prison and 175 hours of community service for stealing $70,000 worth of Pokemon cards from his workplace. This is the latest in a number of scams, counterfeits, and thefts revolving around Pokemon cards in recent times, as this particular item has continuously increased in price.
According to what the court revealed, Kyriacos started his “career” slowly, he only tried to steal a few cards to see if anyone noticed before he plundered and the process continued. out for a long time. “He would take the cards out of the box and put them in his pocket,” said Magic Madhouse owner Michael Duke. “We didn’t have surveillance cameras at the time, so if he was alone, we’d use that opportunity to steal things.”
With its knowledge of the Pokemon card game, Kyriacos specializes in high value cards that have not been stocked by the company. Due to his success in stealing undetected, Kyriacos became increasingly reckless and then stole the counted cards. There were boxes of cards worth nearly a thousand dollars stolen, and in the end the huge damage caused Magic Madhouse to install surveillance cameras. Less than 12 hours later, the culprit was discovered.
When the police arrived at Kryiacos’ mother’s house, they discovered that nearly half a million Pokemon cards were being kept here, so many of them that they were scattered everywhere from the kitchen to the living room. Kyriacos had to compensate some cards and return other cards he still had, although not all of the cards were in the best condition.
