A 'stupid' Lloyds Bank worker sold customers' bank account details to a friend - who then stripped them of more than £80,000
Jaspreet Marwaha, 27, was working at a branch in Solihull when she was offered £50 a pop for card details.
In total, she passed over the details of more than 80 customers to Mohammed Saif Maqsood, who would then set up betting accounts with the money.
Between £82,000 and £92,000 was removed from the accounts in just a few months.
The pair escaped immediate prison sentences, instead being handed jail terms of 22 months suspended for two years at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday, August 28, Birmingham Live reports. They had both admitted conspiracy to defraud.
The court was told how Marwaha - who now works at Sky Sports - had laughed at the prospect of going to jail in a text message.
Marwaha was handed the same sentence for a charge of fraud by abuse of position which is to be served concurrently - at the same time.
She must also carry out 35 days of rehabilitation activity and 250 hours of unpaid work. In Maqsood's case he must complete 20 days of rehabilitation and 250 hours of unpaid work.
A Proceeds of Crime Act hearing, to determine any amounts to be repaid, will take place at a later date.
