He crapped out.
A former Chinatown property manager pled guilty to stealing over $1.5 million from two commercial buildings he oversaw and spending the bulk of it on trips to Atlantic City and Foxwoods Casino, according to a source.
Kee Lin, 43, pleaded guilty today in Manhattan Supreme Court to a top count of grand larceny in the first degree and faces a maximum of three years in state prison.
“The defendant’s fraud was long term, abusive and there was no excuse for it,” said Manhattan assistant District Attorney Kenn Kern.
On a particularly bad year for the raging gambler, he made nearly 50 trips to casinos, the source said, where he played black jack and craps until the wee hours of the morning.
He stole the funds from the buildings’ business accounts between 2006 and 2009 by writing unauthorized checks payable to his company and cash and created fake bank statements to conceal the fraud, prosecutors said.
The addict is turning his life around and is founding a gamblers’ anonymous for Asians, a former colleague said.
