SINGAPORE - Desperate for fast cash to repay his gambling debts, McDonald's restaurant manager Tham Cheun Leong told his assistants not to seal bags containing the restaurant's daily takings, lying that he wanted to count it.
He then pocketed the money, accumulating almost $35,000 over two months.
To cover his tracks, he replaced the missing cash with takings from subsequent days.
But he was quickly found out after money bags that had not been banked were traced to him, and left the fast food chain soon after.
